Need Machining Assistance

[Papa Charlie]

I recently purchased a used Phase II quick change tool post. The T-Nut that came with it has been modified and is way to small for my lathe. I have tried to find a replacement but haven't been able to locate anything that would work.
Perhaps there is a source for these somewhere that I haven't found. If you know where I can get one your help would be greatly appreciated.
Otherwise, I was wondering if there is a machinist among our members here that might be willing to produce a T-Nut for me? I of course, would be happy to pay for your services.
The center attachment is 14M-1.5 pitch. Here is a quick drawing I did of the T-Nut.
Thanks for your help.

I’d be glad to mill you one but will have to order a tap?

I can handle that, I believe I even have the tap. PM Me if interested
BTW, having machined a few of these before, you often need to machine these about .005-.010 undersize from your measurement of the top slide. This in no way decreases the rigidity of the tool post.

I have the material and just bought a 14X1.5 tap yesterday for another project. It will cost you the price of shipping in a flat rate box. I need exact dimensions as I'm not there to measure or to fit it.

Not trying to steal work from you, but I will help him if he likes.

Wow, you guys are great. I appreciate all the offers.

Butch if you have the time, I would appreciate your help. I will double check the measurements tonight and get back to you.

Again, thank you to all of you who responded. I hope some day to pay it forward.

If you lose the tap Butch, let me know I have a bag full of them that will outlive me. I will send you one, free
