Call up a nearby shop that has broaching capabilities and ask if they can help you out. Bake them some cookies along with a video of some competition footage. In five years of asking local machinists for help I've only been turned away once. They are very often happy to help - just be respectful and courteous and explain what your using them for.

Last year I called up a distributor and ask about getting a 1/2" hex broach for a reduced cost. Next thing you know they sent us one for free!!

Use your power of communication and salesmanship, you'll be surprised!!
