Ally?
Steel?
Unobtainium?
Try asking after a local trade school.
I could make it, but I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic.
Right going back to my clutch slave adapter...... Have been round quite a few fabricators in the area and the best price i can get for it is £60.
Tried insisting its not for production but just for my car and they wont budge. Anyone know where i can get something like this done for a better
price. preferably within driving distance of south bucks.
cheers

Doesn't sound too bad to me.
If I was a skilled lathe operator with overheads to pay I'd want at least £60 for an hours work.

What material are you looking for?

Steel?
Unobtainium?

what is it meant to do? surely it can be redesigned to be cheaper/easier to make?
how come you are the first person to require this part?
The problem is if its just a one off, they need to set the machines up just for a one off so it works out expensive, if you did a run of 10 say it
would work out a lot less.
I went to a few places to try and get some gear remotes mate up for the type 9 box, had some interest on here so was going to go for a run of 10, they
quoted me £2000 for the batch. And £500 for a one off!!!! Westfield sell them for £80 so i politely said no!
Doesn't the local tech have a model engineering club using the machine shop?
Or try your local secondary school metalwork teacher.
A local rowing club here had parts cast and machined at the local secondary school.
Hope this helps.
Quite honestly thats about what I'd charge you if I were to do the job.
Youre looking at at least an hours work plus materials.
In ally thats close on £10 alone.
in aluminium, its the adapter for my saab concentric clutch slave to fit into my toyota t50 gearbox.
Hmm you do all seem to be in agreement that £60 is a fair price. ill think about it.
If your having something made up as a one off 60 quids nothing. Especially if it gets it done and gets it done well.
