I turned myself a pair from billet aluminium, but the price to make them
for every one else was something of the order of 80 quid a piece from UK
suppliers. I didn´t have the heart to get 101FC parts made in Taiwan, so
the idea is idle. I did wonder about fabbing them with a Tig-ed on
bottom on a piece of hollow bar, or NC milling the threads, but I still
don´t think people would pay 50 quid each, though I can now even custom
anodise them (the dye is staining my fingers even as I type)
