Looking for 2BA, 4BA and 1/4 BSF Fork Ends

[Leatherhead]

All,

I'm gathering all the hardware necessary for my Bristol M.1C fuselage build. Next on my list are all the 2BA, 4BA and 1/4 BSF fork ends. This company (LAS Aerospace Ltd) has the fork ends; however, they are VERY expensive. The 2BA fork ends are about $25 USD each, the 4BA are about $17 USD each, and the 1/4 BSF fork ends are about $34 USD each.

I'll need 80 2BA's (=$2000), 68 4BA's (=$1156), and 8 of the 1/4 BSF (=$272). This brings the total to almost $3500 just for the fork ends. Then I'll have to get all the tie rods made........I'm beginning to sweat!!!!!

So, does anyone know of an alternate source? I wrote GDM at the Vintage Aviator yesterday, but have not heard anything yet. Better yet, does anyone have a table of dimensions for these fork ends? I'd like to take the dimensions to some machinist I know to see if I can get a better price.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
