Hadn't thought that far into it Vinny as was hoping not to have to cut one myself.
Good point though.
I finally found someone who can supply the leadscrew I need. Unfortunately they won't be as they failed to meet my "affordable" criteria.
Its custom made offshore, and over AUD$500/metre. Just low carbon steel - nothing special.
Around the same price again if I wanted a bronze nut to suit.
Hmmmm...
