I have probably searched through every store and online shop by now.
Is there anyone on this forum who knows where I can find a coupling nut/sleeve nut or whatever it's called? (I have searched for many variations of names)
It needs to be m8, 35mm, stainless. A bit more heavy-duty than for furniture use. (preferably hex) rounded on both ends.
It should be for a trailer, where I need to be able to tighten from both sides but it must not protrude at all, hence rounded.
Yes, but my point is that all fasteners you come across when screwing aren't standard items but made for something specific and not at all picked from a catalog. If the need is a few thousand, it's not that expensive to start something with a drawing as the basis. So what you're looking for or have seen somewhere may only exist as an "original part." I've only seen such within furniture and M6 as mentioned.......But I also have a vague memory of something coarser.....Have you gone through all of Ikea's boxes?
Are you thinking of a regular long nut perhaps? They are available here and there.

I've considered these as a kind of emergency solution.
The old ones I unscrewed (read: broke) are sleeve on one end + bolt on the other. So only two parts. The hole is completely round so these angular ones would be an emergency solution.

There are round (cylindrical) ones available at hardware stores like Hornbach and Bauhaus.
No, they are in the special assortment that they have in Gothenburg at least. I bought such coupling nuts last week to create an internal fastener against a threaded rod that was embedded in concrete.

Thanks!
I have emailed a couple of trailer experts, so if they can't help me, I will order one of these
