I just got done making mine. I used a small pipi cutter to cut the approx length and then. I made a jig out of oak with a 1/4 inch hole cut through by useing another an4 bolt I
I was able to make a square cut on it. Worked real slick.

Thanks Roger. What did you use for stock?

I'm in the process of fabricating mine right now.  On mine I find that 5.5mm is a bit too small for the bushing.  It binds when tightened.  I'm having to make them closer to 6mm.  Using a small pipe cutter is almost a must.
