Thanks in advance

Yep that certainly needs a lot of help!Quote:

What happened was that Treasurer Mark was dealing with an outfit somewhere near him that were looking at giving him a price for having them made. But we know what happened to Mark, and I know I said I'd follow it up, but we've had bigger fish to fry trying to sort the club's bank and PayPal accounts....almost there now. If it hadn't been for the efforts of Mark's brother Paul, and Ian Ford, lately a regular of this 'ere collective, we'd have been well and truly stuffed.
I did actually send the outfit a message via their website but got nothing back. But that's not unusual, as I've had that happen several times in the past when using "contact us" pages. I'll have to try and send them a mail direct to them instead, or even, heaven forbid, give them a call....assuming I can find their details again....
I am working on a back up plan for the future but I need some more urgently than that. I had to borrow a couple from Ducatiman the other week to fill the shortfall. Thanks Andy!Quote:

Sounds like this is getting urgent. I had a dig around last night and found the name of the outfit that Mark had been speaking with - it's E&A Tooling. I'll give them a call next week and see what gives.
I've actually got 3....errr......or 4 complete sets but are away being painted at the moment!

So I decided to refurb them all.Just waiting for the silver bits to come back from painting and having some springs made.
Could they be 3-D printed?
Very easily if you had an accurate model of them. Could probably get it scanned.Quote:

I have modelled in CAD with a view to getting a quote for machining a batch.
