Be cautious with this reasoning. According to prior years' rules, the relevant test is not merely that the assemblies were bought. They have to be bought
from a source which makes them generally available for sale. Unless the machine shop agrees to sell shifters of that design to everyone who wants one, it looks to me like your example counts as fabrication, not purchase.
If the shop builds it for you after kickoff, of course, everything is okay.
