Having a brass "gear" machined - where/how?

Hi -

I've taken on a 1972 Toyota FJ55 project this winter. One of the first things I found was a broken gear @ the rear window motor that raises and lowers the rear window. The original is plastic and apparently it's quite common for them to break. They are NLA from Toyota and are getting scarcer by the day it seems.

A few folks have had brass replacements machined. This is what I'd like to do. I have the original (in 3 pieces) and have started a CAD drawing of it.

I'm looking for a recommendation of someplace to go to have one machined - I have no experience w/this. Depending on the price, I'd be willing to have a bunch (50-100?) done that I could sell reasonably to help offset the set-up cost etc...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tom
