Thanks for the info... will look into that. Also, there are a plethora of small industrial units round here, so will have a look round and see if I can find something local. Yellow pages wasn't much help! - they seem to list only the bigger players with higher advertising budgets.
I made one of the couplings I need in a friend's lathe, but it seems there are some alignment issues between the chuck and the tailsotck, which resulted in an eccentric-running coupling.
I might even look at buying another lathe - will be handy for future projects and one of my other hobbies of messing with gas turbine engines.
Regards,
Rob.
