I know there are a lot of off the shelf solutions and many on Alibaba from China but 45mm diameter doesn't seem to be a common size, and none seem to match what I'm after.
Does anyone have experience using smaller machine shops, or metal workers they recommend to turn a pair or two to specific dimensions in either powered coated or anodised aluminium?
UK based would be ideal but anyone who ships over here.

I needed an oversized knob for a project and found Viljo Mirrandi a couple of years ago (Viljo Marrandi art and engraving – Handmade art). Viljo was able to make me a 56mm stainless steel knob that is absolutely gorgeous and the price, including shipping to the US, was perfectly reasonable in my estimation. That project has been on hold for a little while and I hope to resurrect it soon, but if not I will be repurposing that large, wonderfully heavy piece of art.

Scott

Sifam do a 47mm (actually 46.9) plastic collet knob if you have some clearance.
In addition to the knob body, you'd need a collet that matches the pot shaft diameter, a collet washer, collet nut, and knob cap.
Details/catalogue: Sifam Controls | control knobs, slider knobs and accessories
IIRC RS stock Sifam, but maybe not in small quantities.
