Synchro, the resin impregnated fabric material was probably phenolic sheet because that is what it is. The part could probably be cut out with a water jet at very low cost. Usually many parts are cut out of a sheet of material with one setup. A CAD model needs to be made and then the part is just repeated on the sheet of material. A flat part like that is very easy to make in a CAD program. If someone sends me a good part I will make the CAD model and send the model and part back. Or I can make the CAD model from a good set of measurements or from the original drawing. A DXF file is used to control the water jet which can be sent via email. The company I retired from has the water jet machine.
