Check out this cooly story...

"...enter eMachineShop.com, an amazingly rad combination of software and sweat, which allows you to design a part in a CAD-like program and then send it over the internet to a real machine shop where, given that it's something feasible to create (and the software helps you determine that), a team of 17 machinists will craft your part, bundle it up, and send it back to you via post. The turn around is about 30 days..."

See story and follow links to the site - they even provide the CAD software gratis.

Sir Bomber....speaking of your "shop".....I think I need your help. My "do-it-yourself" fix for my sloppy throttle cables is failing me.

Do you think you can fab something? How can I get you a picture of what I'm thinking about for a fix? Would you be able to get it done in about 4 weeks (before October track day)?

Thanks!
