John , the factory part was cheap , I did mention to two of the local 
shops that I expected it to cost a lot more for custom made but they 
dont have the tooling or expertise . One shop owner offered me the use 
of his shop if I could do it but I'm familiar with his toys and he 
doesnt have the right machines .Then again maybe I should've taken the 
offer.   I've had two local shops that cant even read a blueprint when I 
presented one ,they want the orignal part to work from .  These kids 
nowdays got me worried , where I used to work before retiring they are 
hiring guys who cant read a tape measure . Ivan
