where are you? its about a 5 minute job on a lathe (which I have, along with hex stock in stainless or mild steel) alternatively try a local machine shop, they shouldn`t charge much for the work, especially if you can get the material for them.

They do those for the manifold studs on minis, mini spares sell them, don't know the thread size mind.

Just out of interest, what is it for?

Tried a local hardware shop?

The one in Reading has an amazing collection of odd bits and pieces, including nuts/bolts of all most any size, shape, head shape, thread size etc that you could want.

[alains]

thread is 8x125 (standart) , if you find a piece of tube thick enough with a hole like 4 to 6,5 mm, you possibly drill it to 6,5 and then thread it

You could always use a 4cm tube with an 8mm nut welded into each end (or brazed, or epoxyed). Just thread the nuts onto the threaded bar first so that the threads line up, and slip the tube over them before fixing.

I'd go with alains' idea. Just get an appropriate bit of metal. Drill a hole down it and tap the thread in (the tap and die kit I got from maplins has that size, if you wanna borrow it, gimme a shout). It will be abit heavier, but doubt it will be a significant disadvantage.

[alains]

few people own a lathe this is why i suggest to find a piece of tube with inside diameter less than 6.5

i was thinking of just welding a few nut together but for the price of one if i could work out where to buy one it would hardly be worth the effort lol

i am using a block of alu that i threaded but its a bit huge lol and looks class (and as pete said, its wonky as well)

Hummm never thought of local(small) hardware store thats got to be worth a try

Hardware stores have Turnbuckles... already threaded at both ends etc... (altho one end is left hand thread)
