Ah, just the man...
Do you have time to cut a few slots in some copper bar?
And drill a number of small holes in it?
And maybe tap a couple of them? |

Shouldn't be a huge problem. I'm a bit down in the milling machine
department at the moment[1], so it'd depend a bit on the accuracy you're
looking for in the slots (f'naar!).
Email me the details and I'll let you know. The "eaton dot me..."
address works.
[1] Got a lovely big one, no power and in the wrong place.

It hardly counts as spam, does it? Somebody asked about a service that
he happened to offer, so he replied.
If he posted the same thing, unsolicited, it would be a different matter.

Oh, somebody's bound to go off on one anyway.

Be nice to him. He answered the question straight, whereas he could
have dissembled and talked of a friend knowing this guy wot did
chroming but no connection, like.

sounds like a handy man to know and hasn't spammed willy nilly.
