Any ideas where I can get this made ?

[Speed 3]

I don't have access to a lathe but I need to get something like this made up:



It will largely be hidden so no problem making it in two pieces with the pin threaded into the body of the boss. The pin needs to be steel as a grub screw grabs it and the body ideally from something non-conductive like a hard nylon or other plastic. The piece will not be load bearing.

Anyone ?

Could it be made in one piece or does the larger part need to be non conductive?

I think I could get away with one piece construction at the dims I've chosen as that would allow an insulator self adhesive pad on the bottom face.

£7 for 20mm dia nylon bar and cut to length.

Actually that's not a bad shout, I've just realised I can simply make the lower boss and drill through with a recess for a hidden bolt so I don't even need to tap a thread in. Grub screw should pick up on the exposed thread and I have a face to araldite the end of the nylon to as well. Just seems a pity to be buying a whole length of something you only want a smidgen of but sure I'll find a use for the other 90% in due course !

If we ever meet at an event I'm a big fan of real ale!
As luck would have it I'm in the workshop today working on my latest go faster mod...

That'd be ace, thanks a lot. Unless that ale is >£7 looks like I've saved myself a couple of quid

All will be revealed by the end of the week but its just one of those things that mild OCD picks up on
