Don't get your hopes up too high.

Works well for rather simple pieces, but I tried to get a quote for an
oil-filter-adapter (adapter is supposed to fit between the original
oil-filter mount and the filter. The adapter feeds the filter with a line
from a remote electric pump - pre-luber from Buly!!)
When I finally had it ready they said they don't have the machining
capability "at this time" :)
This was about 1/2 year ago. I will try again soon!

Buly, would you have any shop to do an adapter? Non of the aftermarket stuff
works ( Toyota 4Runner Turbo Diesel). I guess I could get the e-machineshop
drawing printed or converted to somethig another shop could use....

Saw this on WIRED this morning.  Looks like it could be a big
help to people in need of custom bits and pieces who don't
have ready access to fabrication facilities:

http://www.emachineshop.com

You download their software and design your part, then they
manufacture it and send it to you via FedEx.  They can do molding,
milling, turnin, laser cutting, lots of different processes and they
can fabricate out of many different materials.

the faq page

http://www.emachineshop.com/faq/general.htm

is going to be able to explain it better than I can.

hope this helps somebody.

thanks,
-stjohn
