Another option: I had asked a machinist if he could make the threads. He thought he could, for $50 a nut. I need 2 nuts.

I have a basic 1950s Craftsman lathe, but it isn't for thread making. Don't know if it can be modified for threading. I don't want another big tool as that, besides, I'm not that confident a turner at all.
