A easy job for anyone who does engineering/lathe work, just look in yellow pages, if you were a bit nearer could most likely get them done in 24 hours for you, but every area has machine shops.

Doesn't matter what you WANT to pay, if they are no longer made and you have to get some specially made you'll be paying whatever they want not what you think they're worth.
If you can find some still made/supplied these will have been spat out by the thousands from a CNC machine hence the price, but if no demand they won't be made.
£20 is piss all for the time it takes to make if done in a small batch.

Its not worth making them as I dont need many

To get them uniform you would need a CNC to spit them out but set up time would be more hastle than it would be worth

I work for one of the largest machine shops in the Nth Lincs area

I wouldn't even entertain making such low volumes on our machinary at £50 plus an hour machine time, then there is the hastle of sending them off for anodising

I'd sooner buy a handfull for a few quid if anyone has any lying about going spare?
