Any machinist here skilled with their metal lathe and willing to let me hire them to reproduce this plunger/pin?
There are two other small parts I might also need made, but I need to see if I can just find equivalents of the parts elsewhere.
City wouldn't matter because they'd be easy to ship.
It is a plunger inside a solenoid of this Mini-Match.
There are pin holes at the bottom of 5 of those columns, and the solenoid pulls in the metal pin.[FOUND] LF: Metal lathe machinist

Re: [FOUND] LF: Metal lathe machinist
I found an amazing machinist place just off of Preston that is going to reproducing this for me. They normally repair printing presses, but took pity on me.

They have old school lathes and magnificent new CNC enclosure machines, in case anyone else needs work done for a project.

Re: [FOUND] LF: Metal lathe machinist
I have a small bench top lathe that is good for small parts. I lack the skill for anything complicated, but it's got me out of a jam many times with cars.

Re: [FOUND] LF: Metal lathe machinist
it's a stopper to limit the turn of the wheels on each side, just like a real truck.
There's a rack and pinion assembly as well to bring the steering wheel in the center for which I have to find (cheap) replacement compression springs:
