We would most likely water jet the basic shape and finish mill - in 3 different axis. By the time that's done the material cost is probably minimal - machining is expensive.

As asked above - how many do you need and how quickly? With basic dimensions I can probably get you a quote.

They probably used aluminum because of the ease of casting. I would want to anodize aluminum for that application. I suspect stainless or bronze would be about the same price for finished parts.
Porchdog can you get me an estimate? If aluminum I need at east two as they no longer exist. But some are worn enough that it may be better to just replace them rather than try and restore them. I do like the Stainless idea. If the price were right I would get all ten in stainless.

Thanks
