The local machine shop I normally deal with wants $125 for four of these. I know a lot of guys on here have this stuff lying around and can knock it out really quick, so I thought I'd see if someone can help me out.

I need four plates made for the leaf spring hangers on the aftermarket rear frame rails for the Patriot Dream Camaro. I could probably make them at home, but they won't look as clean as I want and I don't have access to a drill press anymore.

They are pretty simple pieces, here is what they need to be:

Check out http://www.cnczone.com

They've got an RFQ section that you can post up on and people will give you quotes, and you can go from there.

I can post it up if you want me to, if you don't want to register and deal with it..

search for a local water jet place, tell then what your doing, more then likely they have 3/16ths laying around so they could burn a couple out for ya, and with your drawing it would be that much easier

Todd, if you could do that for me it would be great! Maybe someone will hook me up if they know what I'm doing it for.

Good idea on the water jet, too. I sent the local place an email.

Try these cats out. I have had several folks use them with great results.

You already have the part drawing just upload it and folks will quote it out.
