You never know, someone on here may be able to fab that up for you....
 
John, consider brass instead of steel for the small extra outlay, it should make a nicer job. Laser cutting services for modellers are offered by several companies.

You can indeed laser cut brass, you can laser cut almost all metals and a few other materials besides. That link is not the only provider, there are others, but that was the only one I could find quickly. I've never tried his service I tend to do mine the hard way.

Co-incidence - I have a rather scarred and tatty right ear as a result of....the guy behind me leaving a chuck key in.....A Colchester 2000!!!!! Way back in '76 or 77.
Clean knocked me out - trip to hospital, lotta blood everywhere!!
 
I have used model engineers laser and he did a great job, very neat which can be an issue with some places. He is very quick and quite well priced BUT it takes far longer and costs a lot more to turn your own design into a product! You could send a copy of what you want off to him and perhaps a few other places, there are plenty of laser cuters about just look on the net or the yellow pages, not all do brass though!

Don't forget that the price becomes massivly reduced the more you order! Last time I had some big steel stuff done it was less than half price if you had over three of them!

Cheers
