It is highly unlikely that You will find a metal fabricator that will take
this job on.
The cost for tooling, jigging and layout can not be effectively recovered by
making, let's say, a dozen sets of outriggers.
Most shops these days are geared for mass production and stay away from
custom fabrication of one offs.
buy a st of outriggers in UK and have them shipped, it will be 25% of the
cost of having them made here.

I am looking for left and right outriggers and a transmission mount...  I
have not had any luck finding any except for in the UK.  I am in Toronto,
ON, Canada.  I have been thinking about having them made if nobody here has
anything around.  If I were to have some made, are there others that are
interested?  I would think that I can get them done cheaper if I make more.
The only problem that I have is that in order to make them I need something
to copy or a drawing or something -- mine are completely rusted away.

Any ideas?
