hursst Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Hello, Can anyone recommend a good machine shop that will take on small jobs in the DC, Baltimore, Hershey, or Philadelphia regions? I have to have two brackets made that need 4 tapped holes, and two bends to make a light "Z" shape, all about 7" long. I have specs and a photo of an original bracket with dimensions. The one machine shop I visited locally said "I don't know if we can do that, we can't bend the brackets. I mean, what's the angle on those brackets? I said "well, you could use a protractor to get the angle from the photo." He got offended and said "I don't think we're interested in the job." Seems like an easy job to me,. Any suggestions are appreciated. Edited December 17, 2019 by hursst (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hursst Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Yes. I have the correct metal for it, just needs holes, tapped, cut into two pieces, and bending to the correct size. 1/2" x 1/4" steel stock.

hursst Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Many thanks to Bob Beck, who was able to generously reproduce said brackets for my Camaro. Got them painted up and ready to install; perfect copies of the originals. -Chris Edited December 30, 2019 by hursst (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
