If you can't find what you need, get a smaller bored insert, and re- drill it to the size you want?

Hi Cliff. Steve at model boat bits drilled some super flex couplings out to 8mm/8mm for me. I feel sure he has the means to fix you up.

Do you mean 3 17ths of an inch? I can only find 3/16 but maybe better luck with a metric equivalent?

Looks like 4.5mm is the closest you might find. I could probably make that.
