I'm not in your part of the world, but if no-one closer can help you just give me a shout.

What thread does the new nut need to be threaded? I have the standard metric course taps up to M12, and I can single point internal threads ( as long as they are metric, I havent got an imperial leadscrew yet ) but would need a section of the leadscrew to be able to match it to.

Bob,

I believe your part is the same as used on the Grizzly G4000. The list the part for $9.25 USD which is about £5.50. Including postage I believe I could send you one for under £10.

Here is the page for the part. http://www.grizzly.com/products/G4000/parts/9
