If there's knobody near to you who can help I could probably get that done for you at work, how urgently do you need them? (i work in a machine shop most wednesdays).

[hayesey]

well, as soon as really.  but beggars can't be choosers    If you can do it next wednesday and I can't find anything sooner then that'd be much appreciated!  The nuts should arrive tomorrow, so I'm guessing there's not time to get them to you by this wednesday.

If its urgent and you know of any local engineers then it would probably be best trying them a its only a 5 minute job

its my daily Job, except i work on a much larger scale, tho it wouldn't be a problem for me to knock you a couple up. what pitch is the internal thread?? also what do u want it to measure across the spanner flats??
cheers Tom

Hi Tom,  it'd be 19mm across the flats and m12x1.75.  I have already ordered some studding connectors though which would just need cutting down and one end turning down to 16mm dia as per my crappy picture above.

er thread actually needs to be 1.5mm pitch, maybe I should have measured that before ordering the nuts
