Does anyone have a source to have cast parts made in small runs?

I used Lee Rock Foundry in Ontario, CA back when I was into vending machines. They poured brass and aluminum. The owner was a super guy named Arlen Downs. Give them a call.

Another source is Cat Tail Foundry, Lancaster, Pa. It is an Amish family shop and they do good work. You can find a phone number online. Leave a message, your call will be returned. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

I used Lee Rock recently. The first picture is the part I sent them to be cast. Second is the raw casting. Third is after I cleaned it up and drilled the holes. Fourth is painted.

I've NEVER had a bad casting from Leerock, Alum, Yellow Brass or Red Brass & they are very Fair on prices.

Very fair. I could not believe how cheap it was for a few of these.

They must have used a shell core in that center hole. Nice casting. Dave
