    Does anyone know of a metal stamping shop that will take on a order for 200 pieces? They are taillight rings approximently 6.5: in diameter x 2" tall?
     
  2. I'd say just open the yellow pages and start calling around. Your biggest expense will be having the tooling made, unless you have the dies already.

    Good luck. What are the rings for, if I may be so bold as to ask?

    Hey Banzai , you might look at spinning them , if there a uniform shape , it'd be dam site cheaper than making dies to stamp them.......Steve

  8. Stamping them will be the way to go. If they were spun, you'd still have to cut the center out.

    Here's a link to info about the metal spinning process.

    I think your looking at alot of money. Thats a pretty deep draw and trust me that aint cheap. Lots of development to get them right and looking nice.
