Cone compresor. What's the going price, and where is the best place to buy one. Is it worth having a thread turned onto a piece of high tensile rod and making one?

I made one - then discovered I had a mix of metric and imperial threads so bought the correct one from Mini Spares with both threads - easier in the long run

I was considering making my own - is there any way of telling from the year which thread (metric or imperial) is required?

I think you will find any new cones are metric but your old ones you need to take out are imperial - Catch 22

Rick, That would be much appreciated I'll send you a PM as soon as I'm ready to swap my cones over. Seeing as we are local to each other It might be good to catch up.

Thanks
Steve

Yeah, had a look at it in my 'wanted'post. Two things - my subby is in the car and I wouldn't get enough lift with an inch of thread on a bolt.
