RFQ: Building CNC Plasma table and Machinist Died!! Need Help!

I have an unusual story..

I bought a custom Y and Z axis off of ebay from a gentleman named
Robert Underwood from TX. He made me the Z and the Y axis... but unfortunatly
the Y axis was slightly misaligned due to the machining one of the end pieces
supporting the rods that the carry the Z axis causing it to bind as it neared
the end of the travel.

He said he would take care of it and mail me a new set of end plates
but he died in Las Vegas the following weekend according to his obitutary.

What I am looking for is someone who can create me a new end plate
out of 1/2" aluminum. The plate is about 4"x 8". I am not looking for Charity.. just someone who is willing to mill a one off part for a reasonable price so I can get my CNC plasma table up and running.

I am really screwed currently...
Anyone interested in helping out?

I'd be happy to put up some pictures of thr parts tonight if that helps
further.

Please email me at Michael.Cunningham.USA@gmail.com
if you can help out.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, what about drilling the holes out larger to get some more play?

Bolt the good end, with the Z carriage next to it, then roll the Z carriage to the other end, and tighten the bolts

Or am I missing something?
