Help needed on getting some threaded inserts .

Can anyone with a lathe turn me up some threaded inserts and ship them to Thailand .

I know mcgill do them but not in the right pipe size . His are 20mm diameter I need 22mm ( pipe or tube sizes seem to differ here)

I have tried to get them done here but they are all wanting to charge me more than 4 quid each for them. Mc gill with postage wants 3 Quid each .

I need 10 in total

5 left hand and 5 right hand thread.

I am willing to pay same as mcgill or less if poss lol

Thanks

Why do you need left handed threads and what size? Right handed thread is a lot more common and your more likely to find a machine shop that already has one to hand.

I can make you some 'top hat' type inserts if you want for £3 each which would give you a depth stop and some thing to weld to, they would be that price as I would need to buy a left hand tap set to do the job. There would be around a 2 week wait as I'm doing some heavy gauge plate work for another company, I need my meds to catch up with what I'm doing as it's taking it's toll on my legs and back.
