recomendations for someone to make an aluminum spacer

Hey all,

 

I am working on this VW beetle powered motorcycle I picked up over the summer, and one of the challenges I am working through at the moment is that the engine was missing it's electric starter. I was able to get a new starter, but because of the custom bellhousing, the special spacer needed to run a stock starter is also missing.

 

After looking at a few running VW powered motorcycles using the same 1970's conversion kit, it became obvious to me that the spacer is just a 3" billet chunk of aluminum cut to shape and drilled for holes for the bolts to pass through.

 

Is there someone the forum recommends that could cut me a spacer if I bring them a template and some measurements? The shape is roughly the same shape as an individual exhaust gasket so not complex and I doubt there is machining necessary, just one big hole and two smaller bolt holes.
