Default Anyone Do Custom Fiberglass Parts?

I have some oddball sized thermoplastic coaming box/drinkholders on an 90's cat. They have cracked and deteriorated over the years and I haven't been able to find suitable sized replacements. Do to their placement, these inserts need to be pretty much exactly the same size. Does anyone do small one off fiberglass jobs? I know this is going to be pricey, but these things are simple (one of the inserts is in good shape to use as a pattern/ mold) and I sure someone in that business could turn a couple these out without much fuss. Anyone know of someone that does this sort of thing? Thanks in Advance, Dave

Thanks for the replies....I wasn't expecting much in the way of replies in this part of the forum. I'm sending some pics to glass dave to see if its a viable job. If not, maybe someone can do one-off thermoforming. I think that the fiberglass would look better and be more durable though.

I saw the SSI catalog, and while a couple of items are close, they wouldn't work in my app. My existing insert overall dimensions are 7.75 wide x 8.75 tall x 6 deep. I really don't have enough room to go any more than 10" tall. If I go shorter than existing, then I can't get a bottle in my drink holder and also would have to fill in the gap.
