Hi!

Can anyone help me find a replacement one of these?

Shaft size 1 inch. Groove size 7/8" or thereabouts.

Wire diameter 2.3mm or 3/32" or 0.90" depending what language you speak.

Machine is imperial in general (Churchill Cub Lathe).

Thanks very much Richard. I did look at making my own but struggled to find suitable wire.
'13 SWG Piano wire' is the key, and it looks like a local model shop has it too:
