Hi Tony, Thanks for the offer, I will consider it as =A3222 seems more reasonable :). On a serious note what do you think I should roughly expect to pay for this= part? What I am trying to gauge is the costs involved, I have other parts I need = which are a bit more complicated but nothing overly complicated and I need = to see if getting them made is feasible as a hobby. I have a lot of ideas I want to try but without machined parts is very diff= icult to realise them, which is just frustrating...

Probably half hour labour charge. Check your local 'phone book. You might find a hobbyist machinist who could do it as well, I've got the tools for it (being a small lathe, milling machine or drill). For =A3223 I'll make it & mail send it to you! Hell, make it =A3222, I don= 't want to overcharge :).
