Been looking for several days. Only place that even hinted that they might have them is in UK. I don't have a complete machine shop and the local shops are all telling me 6-8 weeks minimum. I would like to finish this car before I die so trying to find some on somebodies shelf.

I have steel in the shop I could make them out of but I still dont have a mill and a 7/8x8 acme tap is 160 dollars. That is quite a bit for a one time deal. However, there is a Bridgeport knee mill on a auction sale this weekend Originally Posted by pat mccarthy

well I decided to do another mod to gain max travel of bars past the intended travel points just for that peace of mind. 1/8 inch is to close so now I'll have 1/2" or better. I cut a 3/16" wall...
