Need Help Blueprinting A Part

Izzy hasn't responded to this thread since this time last year. I doubt, he tried to do anything on this due to all the response he received earlier.

Thank you for your post on this and let's be a little nicer on what is posted in the future.

Maybe get a 3d print of the part that you can then mold for casting? You can have that part scanned and printed. The 3d print can made slightly oversize to account for any grinding and final dimension finishing. All of the knuckles I've seen have been made of cast iron. A steering knuckle needs to last a long time under a lot of stress.
The ears on the knuckle are thin and I would think aluminum would hold up well. Any way you choose to go is going to be rather expensive and labor intensive with very precise machining, like that bearing bore. That's a tight tolerance press fit. Again, not a good choice for aluminum.
Good luck.
