john are you sure those are plastic?

i would think they would be some kind of cast pot metal for industrial use.

They can make it, have it done fast, and are very inexpensive.

With the right plastic it would be more than good enough.

Just go "borrow" that set off the door - send 'em to Bob (96z28ss) to have 'em scanned and then give 'em back -- he'll machine you some in real metal...
