Where can I get a custom metal CP?
« on: November 20, 2006, 03:07:08 pm »
Nothing fancy - I'm looking for something 18.5" wide witrh a couple of holes punched for buttons and one joystick.  The catch is that I'd need the metal bent at specific angles to fit into my cabinet.  I wouldn't need it to be "finished" or anything - I'm going to be covering it myself with vinyl. 

Any ideas or leads?

Thanks!!

This is what I'm thinking of.  The picture on the left is the profile of what I'd need.  All the angles are 90 degrees except the one on the bottom which I'll have to measure at some point.  I'd also need screw holes on the short end sections to screw the thing in place.

I had mine done here......http://www.eldredsheetmetal.com/  I made a drawing on autocad and sent it to them and they made it for me. They did a good job. Costed me a little over 50 bucks.

I can do one for you.  I've done a couple very similar to that before.

Really?  Cool.  I need to make some exact measurements and lay everything out (and convince myself 100% that a metal CP is the way to go.  The CP is 18.5" wide though - hopefully that's not a problem.  What are we talking cost-wise for something like that?

Thanks!
