Where do I go- Melbourne

I’m looking for a suggestion- where can I go to get an adapter ring made to connect my GSO 3” focuser and my M54 corrector? I’m after an engineering place since this is a nonstandard requirement.
I’m in Melbourne and would like someone in the area !

Measure accurately (using callipers) the base of your focuser then try the Teleskop-Express website - search for M54. I’d be very surprised if they don’t have the required ring.

Thanks the the responses.
Joshua is building a rear plate for my RC8, I’m sure he would do a great job with the adapter, but I don’t know the thread, hence I was going for someone local to have a look at my focuser.
Stefan Buda has agreed to make the adapter (thanks Stefan!).
I’ll post a picture of the completed project.
