Do you want a guide making in Silver Steel?

[reefy86]

not fussed mate although i cant say for sure but as long as it does the job its intended for :)

Give me dimensions to work to for the OD of the boss to fit in the rail and the drill size you want to use in it and I'll make you one in hardened Silver Steel if you're OK to pay postage?

Let me have dimensions if you want a drill guide.
I'm afraid there is no room here for mission creep, I have a full order book and assumed you'd have dimensions ready for your request and that I'd fit it in this evening.
If I wasn't offering to do this for the price of postage and was asked for a price I'd be telling anyone that if anyone, anywhere sells what you want then it would be cheaper than having me make a one-off.

For tapping get a bit of mirror or mirror polished steel with a hole in, if the reflected tap looks aligned with the actual tap it's at right angles, it's a really old fitters trick and works wherever you are, even under a machine.
