looking for a shop that does CNC Lathe work

[rml1708]

Hello,

I am trying to make some of the TeeNuts for my Weasel.  I have one original with a broken 1/4x20 stud still in it.  I ordered up the drawing from Studebaker, I have modeled it in CAD and I have 3D printed some to confirm my modeling.  Now I just need to find someone that does this kind of work and can take my model, download it and setup their CNC lathe and do a run of parts.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert

@rml1708 I know its a long shot but back in 2010 Jim Gilmore @Jim Gilmore was selling the Weasel coaming button sets. I would suggest that you get in contact with Jim as he is the person best placed to offer good advice on where to get these button sets reproduced.

Protolabs would probably quote you on this. https://www.protolabs.com/services/cnc-machining/?utm_campaign=us-cnc&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=order machined parts online&IDA_Search_CNC&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItKPvl_nI-QIVDD6tBh25HwRfEAAYAiAAEgJeRPD_BwE

I think they're more geared to one off and prototypes, but worth a shot. Let me know how it works out. I'm going to need a set as well as someone removed all the buttons off of my unit.

Robert....the originals look like flattened t-nuts with a domed cap over them.....do the drawings show that?

I have been toying with the idea of getting the t-nuts - actually "brad nuts" are what we need...then making a little die for my el cheapo hydraulic press....because I have so much time🤣
