I've been trying to contact these folks for the last two weeks. No response to my phone messages or emails. Does anyone know if they are still in business?

Thanks,

Mrs. Verdone is still in business but on a limited basis.She has some health issues with her family right now and is taking care of that first. I would keep trying because she may have the part that you are looking for already made or at least a pattern.

I think the casting shrinkage for 304 stainless is about 2.6% or 0.3 inch/ft. One simple way to compensate when you have an original part is to dip it in melted wax, then use that for the casting pattern. On a 4" long part, you only need about 1/16" of wax coating all over to wind up with the same length part. A little more wax leaves some metal on the new part for finish machining back to original size. Most foundries can do this for you. Casting aluminum parts this way is a little tougher because the shrinkage is 6.6%.

Steve,

Aluminum $20 for a pair plus shipping

Stainless $20 for a pair plus shipping

Do you want them polished like a mirror or where they look like they have patina. Same price, just want to make sure you get what you want.

For that price, I can't refuse!

I think they should be aluminum with a light polish, not mirror-like.

Good, this is a hobby, we are suppose to help each other, if you would PM me your address and I ship them to you late next week. Don't pay for them until you get them, I want you to be absolutely satisfied prior to payment.
