Default Looking for somebody in the UK to make an internal threaded brass 45mm dia tube

I have a one-off private job that I am looking for somebody in the UK
to make. I don't have much of a budget and have no idea where to find
somebody to make this sort of thing for me so am looking for
suggestions of a UK individual that can make it on this group.

Also, is there a kind of task/contractor contact web site for one-off
jobs like this?

Anyway, the following as what I need made :

Tube diamet 45mm (approx)
Material: Brass, Copper SS (anything non-rusting)
Thread length: about 1cm max
Thread: 1 and 9/16 ths inch (15.625mm), whitworth
Internal thread inside tube at one end
Tube length: 12cm min, 50cm ideal

Can anyone here help?

Shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'm no screwcutting expert and think
a bit more detail on the thread is needed. If no-one else contacts you
direct I know a guy who might help. Or I could have a go.

Regards
Rob
