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.

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.

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.

doing this without a lathe (and getting it to be straight) is an absolute bastard. I have tried it in the past and its one of the reasons I now own a lathe Very Happy

If you havent got this sorted yet either PM me or use my hotmail addy to send me some contact details and I will turn one up for you.

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

Not disagreeing mate, but its still difficult to get the tap to run true, very easy to get drunken threads. Ideally the hole needs to be 6.8 mm for an M8 thread. Any decent machine shop should do one for coppers.

i was thinking of just welding a few nut together Rolling Eyes 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 Laughing (and as pete said, its wonky as well)

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