Welcome to LSC Grant. There aren’t too many of the burnt finger club on here. Myself, and the few I know personally, don’t do any parts engineering. For this request I think you’ll get a better response over on MyLargescale.Com where they have a very active Live Steam group, a few of which make their own parts.
I hope Bob will forgive me sending you to the ‘competition’, but I think he’ll agree that they have the more diverse live steam group.
Please come back with your pix and let us know how you make out.
