Great stuff Andrew. :thumbup: I had not realised that the button, in use, is flush with the surface; so that's an extremely useful bit of info.
In all the other pictures I've seen, the button protrudes. The overall height does not compromise quill travel too much either.

That's because the sellers are taking pictures of their item without it being on the threaded rod, so the spring pushes the button out all the way.
BillTodd:
you can lose the sleeve on the top of the original nut (serves no purpose that i can see) then drill a angled clearance hole so the when tilted the nut slides free but when level the remaining thread engages. The lock nut can get the same treatment.

There probably is many possible solutions to this one.

"fast nut" or "quick nut" will fetch many choices on searc engines. My favorite is aforementioned construction with plain bore and perpenticular partly threaded bar trough it. Simple to envision and pretty straight to make.

I have a few excuses for not making any further progress on this. For one, I had to finish off my shed loo and hand basin. Got the plumbing sorted, just have to nail in a bit of wire to the water heater. No mention of the big tree removed as well. Pix attached or it's not real. :wave: To Andrew.
Meanwhile my m13 x 1mm tap arrived from China this morning, so the first little job was to make a couple of nuts with to test my new threaded rod. They will be utilised for work-holding for the further machining on the rod. Small end to be reduced in diameter, and cross- drilled. Other end will be slotted.
