I hear you Jon. I am a machinist and program 5 axis machines. It is nice when everything falls into place, but a real pain when it doesn't. It would be nice if we could get the original drawing from gm and find an extruder to make a run. If we got enough guys to commit to a buy we could probably get it done. just need a good drawing and the right material. Even an N.O.S piece that we could measure and make a drawing. I may play around and try sketching something up myself. When I looked on steele's web side, their part looks similar to your new piece but cost 95.
