My comment was actually the opposite of that. You can get plates made yourself, but my comment was about the actual assembly of the elevator, not the plates holding bearings or rollers. You can buy plates and rollers if you like, but the actual structure of the elevator needs to have tight tolerances as well.
There is a lot of focus on making sure rollers are tightly toleranced in elevator design, but don't forget to make your structure tightly toleranced as well. Our structure was a little bit out of square and it caused a lot of flexing and bending.
