Don't suppose anyone knows of some companies who would mill a custom impuse? I'm just too lazy to look on the internet, and also i don't know if i found any if they'd be any good.

I know that tom will know of some?

Cheers Guys,

Look in the yellow pages for a engineering company and ring around. I would warn you though that by milling you are going to lower the strength and integrety of the marker. Not a problem on something like a shocker which is built like a brick could be a problem on something like an impy. When you find a local company that will mill it show them, a design and ask for a sample of it on some stock material from this you can judge what the quality of the work will be like.
The other options are take it to a local college and see if the machine shop tutor will have a go at it for you [very cheap option] or take a dremmel to it [very very cheap but could end up with a dubious finish, but it will be a one of a kind]

I have a big angle grinder and an oxyacetelene rig if you fancy saving a bit of money:eek:

I think they primarily do cockers, but they do other markers too. If you want something really special then they're worth sending an email to at least. Postage of just a body to/from us will be very low compared to milling / anno.
