If we had a proper mining tax manufacturing wouldn't be competing with against the current exchange rate.

Like the weather though.........everyone talks about it, but nobody does anything about it.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

I figured there wouldn't be anywhere big that could do it. Just thought someone may know of a little place where the owner can cast unique parts.
Must be someone somewhere, surely!

There's a bloke near me who could do what you want - there is nothing that he can't make. Trouble is, he is even older than me, and he only does
stuff for people who call in to his house [a long way from you], and are prepared to wait.
Your best bet would be to find someone, like Vic, who belongs to a Vintage or Veteran car club near you. The Vintage crowd are always getting
'special bits' made.
Cheers, Greg
