Anyone know about CAD files or how to have custom machine shop work done?

I need an amp part made. I have one piece, but need a second one, which is surely not worth the minimum job size of any machine shop. Since no one else makes these and Marshall stopped making them 35 yrs ago, I wouldn't mind ordering a bunch and then selling the extras on eBay to recoup my outlay.

I went to eMachineShop.com, but they need a CAD file, which I absolutely do not have the skills to create. Their free software might as well be written in traditional Chinese. I cannot figure it out. They want $150 just to create the file for me, before anything else. I have one piece I can send to anyone and just need them to make another identical one or, if it makes it more worthwhile, another 20 or 30 of them. It's a small piece of stainless steel, but its finishing is nicer than anything I could do with a piece of hardware store steel stock and a drill and Dremel. How to do this?
