Default Need a simple plate made

I am building a cart for my engine, and I need two plates fabricated out of 3/16 or 1/4 steel.

The plate will look like this:




The only difference between the two plates is the size of the center hole. On one plate it will be 1.5 inches, while the otehr plate will be 1.125 inches. All other dimensions are identical between the plates.

The small holes are .5 inch.

Plate width is 8.25 inches. Height is 4.5 inches.

Top to Bottom, Small holes are 2.75 inches apart, center to center.
Left to Right, Small holes are 6.75 inches apart, center to center.

Can someone lead me to a shop that will do this kind of work? The fab shops I have found around here want to do 100 at a time!

Do you have a vocational school near you? If so check with them.

I'd be glad to make them for you at the following rate:
Cost of material + cost of shipping + $20 labor.
Could have them done in a day.
Let me know.....
