    Either they want to build at least 1000 of the piece or I can try a CNC shop which will ask me for the cad project and charge me probably the price of a new machine to do it....
    Far be it for me to tell you about your city, but you might be looking in the wrong place. There is always an underground (legit) economy.
    Where do you think engine rebuilders and modders get their work done?
    You got to get gritty hand, get off the computer, ask the right people, and pound the pavement, IMHO.

    Good luck and God Bless...

    You're right, internet made me a little lazy.... lol...
    Now if it doesn't shows up on the internet, it doesn't exists to me....

    Luckily I've found one of these places, close to my home... let's hope the guys don't charge an arm and leg for it. But they don't have any modern cnc stuff... good old hand work... at least they claim on their website to be on business for 40 years.

    That's the beauty of it all...some old guy with antique equipment, a scrap piece of square stock, and bam...done deal.

    I love it when a plan comes together

    Well, I'll know it on monday.... but today I managed to get my hands on a short type adapter that managed to hold a little bit my dynabrade..... but it was too unstable.... I guess it won't work that distant from the machine
