I was previously exploring casting the bronze inner handles for the Zagato Ferrari but after much headache with casts that just aren't up to the standard that I have, I decided to just machine them. I had previously made 3D printed patterns that allowed for shrinkage, and had even cast some semi-acceptable parts. Even though the originals were bronze (I believe) and then chrome plated, I figured machinable brass was a close option for the final versions here. I machined the handle above on Friday and today I'm machining more. I'm happy with how this turned out and I should be good to get these to AMS in the very near future.
