Hi everyone,

I live near Matlock (DE4, Derbyshire) and I am looking for a hobby machinist / turner with a lathe who could help me turn a small custom threaded adjusting plug (bolt) for a steering rack.

I do not have the old sample, but I have a clear drawing with all the exact measurements and a photo. It is a small single one-off job.

I am happy to pay for your time, materials, and postage (if you are not local and can send it via Royal Mail).

Please send me a private message (PM) if anyone can help. Thank you!
