Manufacturing an adapter in Oz?

Hi all

I have a ProStar LP-GUIDE imager that I'd like to connect to a 0.5 Reducer (which will all work very nicely in a PST). Unfortunately while the reducer has a standard C-Mount thread, the LP-GUIDE has an odd thread - it is apparently M30.5 × 0.75. I also need the adapter as thin as possible.

I obviously need an adapter, and PreciseParts can build one for $US89 + shipping (although I need to confirm they can cope with the odd thread). Attached is an image from PreciseParts showing the sort of thing I need.

Is there anybody here in OZ (preferably Brisbane) who you'd recommend? It has to be cheaper than a US cost plus shipping, especially with exchange rates as they are now.

Thanks in advance...

Regards
David
