Recommendations for help fabricating replacement parts?

Just can't stay away
Just can't stay away

I’ve been working for some time on a brake issue (discussed here:packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb ... c_id=29091&start=10#forumpost284868). Disassembling both wheels I’ve finally tracked down the root problem: the female end of the universal joint connecting the brake actuator on the side that was disconnected is damaged (see picture below with damaged part on the right).

I took the part to a local guy recommended by some people in my car club but he was unable to help - he couldn’t reproduce the shape and also the piece is of hardened steel, which he cannot do.

I wonder if anybody has any recommendations on someone who might be able to help with this? My biggest fear is sending it to someone who is not motivated to do it, or can’t, and it just sits around on their shelf for months with my car remaining inoperable. So any leads on somebody who’s good, and responsive, would be very appreciated.

Thanks.
