Rofrost turbo reducer / insert external dimensions

[newcastle phill]

Hi all
Just managed to get a rothenberger rofrost turbo pipe freeze.
Went with the advise after considering bottled Co2 (thanks corbsy)
It was virtually for free - partly because it has no inserts
So im going to machine some and have some large round alloy bar here.

Can anyone measure the external dimensions (diameter) accurately.
Or even better posts me one to copy.
I will pay all postage charges.
And in return - if you are missing a size - i will get one machined for you too.

I have measured the freezer heads with a micrometer and could do it from that.
But ideally would like one to see what sort of clearance is netween the 2 mating surfaces.

But i would be happy with accurate measurements in any event and turn it down exactly.

i see so you got a lathe ? and didnt see a price

tbh all you need is a piece of paper and a pencil and a bit of time

Oh yeh i can machine them no problem, but being a fanny i want to make them identical.
If i cant get tge dimensions ill simply go a few thou under and take the miniscule slack up with thermal paste
