Oh none taken - I'd be a total donut if I put something onto a forum and not expect responses.
I'm in the UK.
I have resolved the issue as @chakster donned his proverbial audiophile cape and sold me a base - in fairness he offered just the nut.
As it happens you can still get the b60 replica from yahoo auctions in Japan - that said I was a tad bemused with how yahoo auctions works so I just did not bother with that.
All said and done I am making my own adjustable arm mount using a micrometer adjustable lab jack
