Hi,


As a suggestion if you get some long screws (M4) which are a sliding fit into brass tube you can readily make your own. Superglue one screw in at one end with some thread showing then do the same at the other end. You can easily make some wedges in plastic.


Cheers

Don't know what length you want and the longer ones start getting expensive but ShipWrightShop  have some turnbuckles that might do the job.

Wash your mouth out with soapy water Geoff, "Make from scratch?????????????"   What a ridiculous idea.  %)
