Got another much needed part back after having it reproduced. A customer at work saw me at one of the events I was at and offered his metal machining services to me. Taking him up on his offer I quickly loaned him the handle that releases the front armour flap. SInce I coudl not find one and was not able to cast one he told me that he coudl machine it for me.
Here is what he gave to me at work tonight. It is extremley close to the original and should work just fine. He said it took approx 4hrs to make and that was 2hrs more then he thought he would take.
Now I can't wait to fine tune it and get it installed.
