And then assembled the lot -wont tighten as it just slips. :(
 Need something to stop rotation. :smart:
So I tapped a m6 tread in the outer sleeve and a 2mm groove in the inner.Then I cut a m6 allen bolt down to lenght and lathed a  2mm end.

This all assmbled well and stopped the rotation.

And relative to the headstock lenght  the delrin spacer is just to keep things concentric but i dont think it is essential.

bogstandard:
That really is a nice job you have done there Geroli.

I will have to get one made for mine now, as I can definitely see the advantage of one of these for longer stock turning, just as John Hill suggested.
