And therein lies the rub. Most small shops are not set up to do production. To make one or two of something by hand, machine shops want a fortune. To make the part affordable, production shops want an order of magnitude probably more than there are cars still around that can use the item -- and they want it paid for up front. Even some of the oddball hardware items we need are a problem. They are still around but try buying in quantities less than a thousand and what vendor is going to stock 1000 when he might sell one or two a year.
