Looking for a simple engineering shop that will mill a cross-slide t-nut

[Richard T]

I've just bought a quick-change toolpost for my South Bend lathe.
It comes with a "blank" t-nut to fit the compound which needs to be machined to fit.
I don't have a mill so I'm looking for a "straightforward" engineering company that would do it - all the companies I can find seem to be high-end CNC-type places, it feels like I need an old-style machine shop that doesn't mind a job this small - any recommendations ? It's a simple enough job I can just post the bits up with a reply-paid bag, so it doesn't need to be local to me (Surrey).
Thanks !

I can do that for you.

That would be brilliant - I will PM you. Thanks !

I'm on the Guildford side of Woking so you could bring it over if that's any easier.
Otherwise I'll watch out for a PM.
You'll need a 'fag-packet' sketch with dimensions of what's required.
