That's what I love about being a machinist and having a shop. I could have replicated the pin/boss probably in 4 hours.....for a price!
I actually get a lot of kind of repair, since I try keeping a largely obsolete fleet going. By the time I could find a decent used part, I could build another one, or long before. There are a couple of times I still haven't found the part I wanted, but made something that worked. Of course, I haven't looked as hard now, but just in case my version failed I wanted to know where to get one, or just get it to have and replace to stay original.
But under the circumstances, I'd say you went over and above for them. I hope it's appreciated.
