I couldn't find stainless steel chain adjusters for my vintage Bonneville, so I decided to make them. Now I know why they are not readily available:
First I took measurements and cut the basic blanks for them. Then I chucked the piece up and turned it down a bit closer and threaded the draw bolt portion and drilled the 3/4 in hole.
Then I made an aluminum and brass jig to shape the corners of the pieces on my rotary table.
The resulting pieces and axle nut I made look pretty close to the original (the one on the left is the original), and mate up nicely to the axle and frame
Here's the bike they are for
