No, I haven't contacted 303 yet. There's still work to do on the handle and knob mountings so there didn't seem much point. Once I've actually got my original measured up on our CMM at work and found the time to get the design finished I'll get one made up on one of our CNC Machining Centres. Getting them machined isn't really a problem, it's me finding the time for getting the design finished that's the problem.

The buttons (like the rest of the design) only exists in CAD form at the moment. The buttons shouldn't be too difficult to make as long as you're using CNC machinery. The triangular holes would be pre-drilled, broached and then filled with coloured resin (well that's the idea).

btw, thanks, I'm glad you like the design.
