I have a pair of these engines and can get pictures/measurements if one needs to be made.

  I see a seller on German EBAY is mentioned.  Unfortunately,
all items, even small ones, are subject to covid S&H protocols costing
beaucoup bucks....regardless of size or weight.  It might be worth
the shipping fees for an engine, but for a small part, it is onerous.
And this from someone who bought 2 from Germany, 1 from France,
and one from England since the lockdown...and am awaiting another.
Patience is a virtue in these situations...but only so far.

If the situation re S&H from Europe has changed, please let me know
And I'll be the first in line to our German sellers.

Just my two cents,
Wayne

This is still something on my wanted list.

In my experience...

I recently bought a pass-thru Doll/Falk valve from Jutta and the
shipping was about $8.  The valve was expensive but fits and works
and the shipping was inexpensive.  A whole good sized engine might
cost $100 to ship.  That is up from a year ago and is a  tough nut
to chew.  If I visited Germany I would leave my clothes there when
returning and fill up my suitcase with steam treasures.

Bing was good on picking metric threads that became modern threads. So making one is doable.
