Foundry recomendations?

[Keith 66]

I am restarting a long term project, vintage fast launch built by SE Saunders back in 1905, part of this will require new fittings throughout, she was derelict for 45 years & everything down to the last cleat was nicked. Some of these i can buy off the shelf but some parts will have to be made.
I will be needing thames pattern cleats of the right size & steering gear & wheel which will be a replica of Saunders own design (now unobtainium!)
I can make the patterns for what is required but will need a foundry who are willing to do small batch of parts in Gunmetal / bronze. Any recomendations?

I've never had anything made by them but they do one offs and small runs.

My pal uses them to cast engine blocks for historical vehicles. I machine them and castings are good but I’ve found them a bit expensive for one offs
Taylor foundry are very friendly and helpful
