I'm quite confident that it is a precisely machined item, but that $627.50 price is more than what I paid for my mint 65mm and 90mm Nikkors!
Around the year 2010, I had the length of a way too long quality metal braided shutter release cord very much shortened by a local jeweler. As I recall the "operation" was quite easy for him to do. Cost me, I think, under $20 dollars back then. Served me well for years till I sold it with a WA lens that I used it with. I'm quite sure that I could have done that same alteration/adaptation with a little bit of J B WELD... wouldn't be as cosmetically clean though but it would have been useable.
