I've not yet tried this outfit, but if like me you are into adding farkles or building a project then this lot make anything and one offs or low quantity is not an issue.
As an example I just put in one 40 mm diameter /10 mm centre, 3mm thickness stainless steel washer to see what it would cost. Answer, a very reasonable £3. (I know you can buy a washer much cheaper than that, but to have something made bespoke, it's very reasonable. Many companies won't make single items!) LINKY |

I've had a couple of prices from them. One for a battery tray for the bike (which I'm not sure I'll use yet) and one for a speedo bracket as I'm planing on using an all in one speedo/tacho/lights (although it has no oil pressure light hence the extra hole).
I sent them the DWG file yesterday and had the price back today. Price (in 4mm ali) was 17.50, but plus VAT and postage makes it £30. I'm waiting for a price from a local company before saying yes. The drawing needs tweaking as I think the fold line is too close to the edge of the speedo Regards Wyn

Thanks for the expert opinion Phil.
The front of the speedo / tacho is less than 4mm wider than the main body and protrudes by only 5mm so I think I'd be ok but will tweak the fold line to be on the safe side. |

More to do with the folding, the hole radius will be "dragged" into fold

Hopefully this will improve things. Two warning lights above the fold.
