I can take off the part and mail it to whoever to replicate. I would
obviously pay for it, but not anywhere close to $750, of course. I
looked at the nut, it looks badly worn, I do not think that it was
this way originally -- but, surely I would have to ascertain that
again. I may be able to do something with my mill, original nut, and
the McMaster nut. (as in, mill out the original nut, insert the
mcMaster nut and braze in)

Ultimately, what could happen is that the McMaster is too loose or too
tight
and then you are almost back at square 1... But it's worth a try
compared
to $750!

I think that I will buy one today.

You can always return it if it doesn't fit the lead screw properly BEFORE
modifying it.

If you are going to braze it in, think about getting a piece of spare male
thread to put in it to make sure it holds size during the process. Don't
know if that will help or not in an overheat situation, but it's low cost
insurance.
