Hey VV,
Thanks. I think his name is Richard. I'm not holding out much hope but I'll talk to the guy. One of their competitors quoted me $1,600.00 per porthole. That was an entire unit. They wouldn't even entertain making just the window portion. I think I'm going to need to find a MOM and pop foundry to cast these or give it a try myself. This is a pretty simple part so I don't think it will be to hard to cast. But, by the time I buy everything to make the foundry, get set up, make a few mistakes, etc, etc. There re a few youtube channels with people casting parts I have reached out to. Hopefully one of those will say yes. I'm also going to stop by the CBMM in St. Mikes, IYRS in Newport, RI see if they can help or know someone.
Thanks for thinking of me DRC
