There's a firm in Kent whose name escapes me(ask Lisa) who make anodes to suit. Maybe they could make a small supply.

You're welcome, it's the route I took. Easy job to run a die to the correct tread.

Wow, great saving made. I bought some 10mm and 20mm for my DD Engine anodes,they are cheap in the states, but the carriage to get them here kills it. A few hours on my pals lathe and I've got enough to last a couple of years.

Not necessarily. I bought mine (about20) from USA a year or so back, I had no tax or extras to pay.

Bought 2 x 250 x 10m/m zinc rods from Solent Anodes ( via ebay) for £9.90, drilled the exosting brass bung out from 8 to 9.5m/m & pressed the anode in with the engineers vice. it took 5 mins.
Many thanks to all who helped

Necro bump. ????

BoatPartsAndSpares.co.uk appear to have the anode only for £5.

I think the Peachment price may be for anode + plug, but I'm not sure.
