I had a local machine shop turn it for me. After speaking with another forum member, I could have got it done for almost 1/3 the cost I paid ($75). I drew up the spacer by hand as it was very simple. I can privately ask the other member if he will make it for you. I'm pretty sure he will be migrating over to this same finned cover so it may be a matter of him turning an extra piece on his lathe.
On that other thread, I saw where a guy got a 1.25" diameter threaded SS piece and just punched the inside diameter out to 9/16" (0.563"). You are trying to have clearance for a 14 mm bolt to pass through. Some on the other 1addicts thread went with 14.5 mm (0.570").
I used to have access to a lathe at my old job and could have easily knocked this out during lunch.
