    Help choosing material

    That exact thing happened to me but I found a place in Calgary that had one on the shelf. I have the old one maybe 10% of its life left.

    Thanks for the offer. The part is a left and right hand and someone stole one of the parts so we have the other hand as a pattern.

    Casting aluminum

    Is there anyone in the Calgary area that is casting aluminum? On our restoration project we are missing a cast aluminum part it is a very simple shape but a big job to carve out of solid. Gary T
