Does anyone make these?
Obviously the one on the left. They were made by George Petrus of cobraracing.com, I bought them about 15 years ago unfortunately George is no longer with us and his business is defunct but I was wondering if anyone was reproducing them.

You can always go to a commercial CNC shop. That one piece in single unit quantities should be less than $4,000.

I asked him and he can supply all the suspension parts I need for a 289. He sent me a list with all the prices of what I need. |

The difference is the original manufacturer had them made in a sufficiently large quantity to get the price of setup/teardown, material, spindle time, and profit to the point he could charge $1,200 a pair and not lose money.
You are going to use a shop that does not have and needs to create the CAD model, the CAM model, the tool pathing, build any fixturing hardware, buy cutters, and do the setup and tear down to get to the next job.
Your one-off pricing will be very different under those conditions.

I think we all know a one off manufactured piece is going to be cost prohibitive that is why my original question was if anyone one reproduced them.
