3D scanning and Machining Service Suggestions

Hi All

Need aiming in the right direction..

Got a dry sump system that uses a side mounted oil pump - VW ABF 16v engine - and the adapter plate that goes between Pump and the block is a unicorn!
(apparently a batch of circa 10 were made, in Germany, back in the 90's, of which mine is one, they are unavailable)

The one I have I would like replicating a few times, hence need to find somebody who can do it, as it's quite a complicated shape I think a 3D scan and then it CNC'd from a block of Ally would be the solution.

Anybody any ideas who supplies such a service?

Or - alternative ideas to the above!

Might be worth getting in touch with RetroPower as they do a lot of 3D scanning (watch their YouTube channel) and I'm sure can machine things from those scans.
