where to get a smal piece of alloy machined
02GF74 - 4/7/11 at 12:36 PM

I seem to remember reading on here that there was a website where one could post a request about getting a piece of metal machined and the members., mostly retired with lathes and mils would bid or negotiate for the work.

Or did I dream this up?

I am looking to get approx 5 adapters for a bike shock made up.

i can do lathe work and ali welding at reasonable cost but im sure there is someone closer.

It is the piece on the right; needs lathe to make the cone and milling for the slot.

I did approach FM but not heard - I guess he is busy finisig off is HD chopper.
