34 Hours @ $25/hour ( a reasonable rate for machine, design tooling fixtures and & materials is 25/hr. That also a good rate to have somone to change the oil in your car.) = $850. Would you pay $850 for the nose gear strut?

Or if you can find a good tool maker that can do it in 3 days. 8hrs x3 =24 hours 24hrs x $25 = $600. Would you pay $600 for the strut?

To get the price down to $250 he would have to complet the job in 10 hours. Small job shops wont take 1 of design and machine job like this. Best to find a retired guy with a shop in his basement.

I dont know what e machine would charge but you have to provide the design.
