I have a shaft that is 3/8x11 that I would like to have changed over to a 5/16x14, I’d like to have my .052 trim ring copied and a Schon phenolic over pilot style pilot. My local guy was having problems sourcing the slightly thicker trim ring and I’m not sure if he does the Schon style pilot. Any recommendations?

.052 trim ring. Could you define that a little more?
Schon style pilot?
Schon joint screw approximately .302/.304
Pilot on shaft approximately.530 o.d. x .130
Schon joint o.d. approx.836/.838
What else?

The shaft has a plain black collar and is tapped for 3/8x11. I’d like to have it drilled, plugged and have a 5/16x14 insert put in. The “schon stlye pilot” refers to the use of phenolic to shoulder the pilot vs wood or none. To match my cue the trim ring is roughly .052 and centered between black phenolic. I’m assuming I would need to send my cue, is that assumption correct?

If the only problem is the .052 trim ring. Which I have to assume is stainless or knickle silver because you haven't actually said what it is yet?? They are available in .060. Glue it. Trim it a little. Done!
 
I would do as Mr. Webb suggests, get a. 060" sterling silver ring, glue it up in a jig and trim it to .057" as far as the pilot, that's something every competent cue maker should be able to replicate.
