Why not make your own? Get a stock rod of the correct size and temper, and thread each end.
Small to none. You would have better luck at a local machine gun. Harbor Freight might have one, since they import everything from China, but a for warning they suck. They are cheap on Amazon and Ebay.

Edit: the .f3d file is a fusion360 file. Also I recommend that the part be printed sideways so its "laying down" This way the screw threads are perpendicular to the print layers and wont shear.
I have it fitting a 14.5 mm head diameter (~0.55 in, metric is just easier to work with with small things). Tho feel free to ask for adjustments to have it fit a flashlight you have.

I used these to finish up the screw threads. Theyre not necessary and you can make it work with screwing in the appropriate screws/holes but they interface much smoother.

For any potential glory hole enthusiasts out there reading this who want to take it to the next step, that is called a hole saw and can be found at your local hardware store. You can also buy a compact hand drill to attach it to.
I guess this will have to do
They're worth far more. Out of curiosity, where'd you pick yours up?
You'll be able to see a spot of slight discoloration where a weld covers the set screw that holds on the fake can. Stick it in a vise, and use a dremel grinding wheel to shave away the weld until you get to the allen head screw, which should come right out. Then, you just have to unscrew the fake can, which required some vise grips in my case.
Wear a full face shield! I had a grinding wheel explode on me, and it left a good sized dent in the shield right where the bridge of my nose would've been.
If you want to use the 1/2x20 tpi threads, clean them up with a die like this one and then get a thread adapter.
Triple K makes kinda ugly repro mags, that do work.
You can always modify it

That's for 510 atomizer connections to the battery.
Here it is on Amazon. Try searching "thread die" for other shops. CCW are also referred to as "left hand" threads
You could thread it yourself easily, Amazon sells -14mm dies

Do you have the pipe?
And if [this] (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskNYC/comments/41b4mm/need_to_thread_a_35mm_pipe_m35_x_15/) isn't you, maybe you should PM them and ask what they did.
It won't include a case gauge, really a complete round gauge. You should own one for every caliber you reload. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Lyman-Reloading-Length-Headspace-Gauge/dp/B001RI7A66/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479962029&sr=8-1&keywords=lyman+223+gauge
Wilson and Dillon also make cartridge gauges. You can use them to confirm your cases are within spec (both shape/shoulder and length) and check loaded rounds. Always gauge at least your first few rounds each session and randomly pick a few as you go.
Note that for the Lee kit to trim brass you need Quick Trim Dies. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Precision-223-Remington-Quick/dp/B00NEQW1T0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479962154&sr=8-1&keywords=lee+223+trim+die
The first time I got the same kit I screwed up and bought what I thought was the necessary components for trimming. It turns out it was a shell holder and spindle piece for a different type of trimmer.
You should really get a deburr/chamfer tool for brass. The thing that comes with the Lee kit is completely worthless. Lyman makes a good one: https://www.amazon.com/Lyman-Case-Prep-Multi-Tool/dp/B004MCMCYE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479962275&sr=8-1&keywords=lyman+case+prep+tool
Personally I hate balance scales. This is a good electronic replacement. You'll want to use the powder pan that comes with the Lee scale on it or buy another (large!) pan. https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Weigh-GEM20-Precision-Milligram/dp/B00ESHDGOI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479962410&sr=8-2&keywords=gemini+scale
Important: Note this scale has a large area for you to rest a pan on. There is another version of this that comes with a little pan. The pan is WAY too small for loading anything past 15 grains or so of most powders. The 'contact area' for the scale is also tiny, so to use another pan you have to stack it. The one I linked has a large contact surface you can put a good-sized scale on.
You can get an M35x1 metric die on amazon for $48
But if you need pipe threads that may be an issue. Did you purchase a 35mm pipe or is this something that was installed or laying around. Unless you specifically bought a 35mm pipe I find it hard to believe this isn’t some standard size. OD on a 1” pipe is 1.315”; 35mm is 1.378”
If it’s a 1” pipe lots of places will be able to thread it. They have the machines at Home Depot but idk if they will do it on any pipe you bring in.
