SebBrady Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Okay just a quick one really im not having much look in sourcing one of these and im told its not just me in this position! So, ive been in touch with several casting firms around my local area in the hope we can agree to a price and if they can manufacture the part at hand! Leads me on here to ask 2 questions: 1) Does anyone have accurate drawings for the part that i could put onto CAD, 2) Or would anyone be willing to lend me the part so i can draw it into CAD to send them. Both are a long shot but is always worth an ask, and also would anyone else be interested in the end product because maybe if they mould more the price could come down...

sirhc Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Seb, It's made up of several pieces, the door and main body are easy to cast but then you need the hinge, the door in the side and it's hinge etc. it will also all need machining. Quite a lot of work! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhc Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 There are also several versions of these. Some have a small side door, some a larger one. Some have an additional bar at the top as part of the door mechanism, most don't. I have a small side door and hinge and need a larger one... long shot but I'd swap it for the bit I need!

SebBrady Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Got a good workshop used for making steam trains so lots of tools available, and skills I don't have, I'm hoping we can make something as a stop gap just no measurements. @Chris you thought of making body and doors before if so could you drop me a pm mate. I will keep you updated as I go.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
