Someone to make a halfshaft?

[Nearly]

Hi, looking for recommendations for a company to make a new half shaft for Emme axle on Willmot Lightspray buggy.
I don't have the old bits but I do have its friend. New parts aren't available and neither name above has been able to help me.
I have a plan B (pictured below) but this is just a last try for someone to cut some splines in a lump of suitable metal.
965mm long 45mm diameter.

Half the guys I was at school with went into engineering, all retired now and no-one taking their places, ten years ago I could have named 10 firms to do it, all gone now.

Reliance precision could likely do it, but as above could be expensive.

Could anyone help me with sourcing brake components for one of these? I need brake shoes and cylinders, brakes keep binding at the moment.

I was told , that the test for torsion/ flexibility of a half shaft is to clamp one end , and the other should be capable of being twisted at least 360 degrees before it fails .

Would need some vice let alone a strong bench to bolt said vice to……..

Driveline in Lancaster could do it, too.
