I was hoping to get the job done cheaper than that ;-)

I've gone through a similar exercise for a bolt
for a Gitzo, and didn't much like the price
of a single bolt!!

The Gitzo bolt I eventually got almost works in the Benbo;
but 3/8" section is a little too long.

But I have taps, dies and files in my workshop... (no lathe)
