You could go see if a local junior college has a manual machining course…
Technically speaking it is very easy for DIY. I can get an aluminum or steel block cut to size (OnlineMetals.com), then drill the 5/8 hole through, the 3/8 hole through and cut the slot. Aluminum will be easier to drill. If I grind a small flat on top of the bar I could use a set screw to control rotation.

Throwing in my 2 cents worth. If those are your machines, for a price you could make them for Tony.
Yep, those are in my garage. I'm not sure I'd want to make them, though. I'd need to have the rest of the parts here to do measurements and verify fitment. And then there would be some level of liability if the little clamp snaps and causes his car to drive off a cliff and land on some orphans.

You can buy cheap bar stock on ebay. Aluminum is easy to cut to size on a table saw with a sled. That may save you money ordering up stuff cut to your perfect size.

Sad isn't it these days when everybody is concerned about liability, no matter what it is. However I agree with you.

Totally true. I understand and no hard feelings. In this case I should be able to make it myself as explained above.
