Chuck thread adaptor wanted

Not what you want to hear, but that would be quite a pig to make. From my experience, getting the two threads and more importantly, the registers, absolutely true is a major precision task, probably involving several attempts 
.
If the metric thread is a headstock spindle of some sort, you might be better off getting a complete new spindle machined, which could be a simpler job with a single mounting between centres for turning. This would then allow you to mount "standard thread" accessories for ever and a day.

When it has a hefty chuck in one end and spinning at 1200 rpm you might change your mind about precision!
I can make you an adapter if i have the spindle to work from.
I'm in sheffield so if you could drop off i can do it while you wait even

That's a fantastic offer from Ian, so if you are happy with the additional overhang from using an adaptor, then jump at it. But I'd still recommend replacing the spindle as a whole, for lots of reasons.
I'm guessing Ian could do that just as quickly if you take him the spindle.
