Request for two small steel rod-esque lathed part!

Ok, I said they'd be bad - it's about the only commitment I can meet!

Hopefully, this will help visualize what I'm aiming for....

It quickly became apparent, I need a better bobbin (those are sewing machine Bobbins bought from Boyes, Whitby @15p each! The diameter is (ar too wide & the centre hole is just over 6mm ...but then I'm into the domain of specialist bobbins (min order 1000s!). Then I thought, actually because space is so tight (the pickup from top to bottom must come in at less than 9mm in height - see cross section sketch immediately above), then I really ought to dispense with the bobbine completely - this is when my probelms started ultimately ending up here throwing myself at the mercy of the forum!
