Checked Enco's price off the link you had, was listed as about $40 dollars for 1 3/4 x 1 1/2 but came up as $50 something on an order but alas they don't ship to us Canucks. Called Metal Supermarket or what ever its called, they're going to get back to me with a price. But THANKS again for the offer.
Out of curiosity, the bronze you ordered is cast, centrifugally if its hollow, is sintered bronze compressed particles? Then if that's the case are oilite bearings sintered with oil introduced under a vacuum. The sintered liners we used in our shaped perforating charges were just that, metal particles compressed in a set of dies.
Bummer. I got that piece for nothing from my brother. He was hurting for cash and he's a sometimes machinist so he was loading up a trailer with metal to sell to the scrap yard. I happened to go over to his place and looked on the ground and saw a couple of pieces like that. I asked him what he was going to do with them and he said he was taking them to the scrap yard to sell. I told him "the hell you are" and grabbed one piece which he said I could have for zip. I wish I could have used it to make my nuts but the ID is too large. If you find a source for what you need that won't ship to Canada, let me know and I'll buy it and ship it to you.
The bronze I got for my nuts is not sintered bronze.
