Hey Dev.

More details please.

How many pieces, what are the tolerances, how soon do you need delivery, 
are you supplying material, do you have a detailed drawing, are you in 
CHCH and plan pickup ?

Personally, I would email a request for quote out to some of the machine 
houses in town (if you are in CHCH). Include the detailed drawing and 
all other stuff noted then see what happens.

I needed to get some similar work done a few years ago so put some 
effort into a decent dimensioned and toleranced  fabrication drawing, 
sent out four RFQs and the response was black and white.

Anyway, if you get favourable quotes, go and visit them see if they are 
friendly etc.
