Small machine work job- thoughts?

I absolutely love my Ritchey breakaway bike. It’s my main gravel bike and I travel with it often. It fits perfectly and i like everything about it.

The bottom flange though; worries me. I’m often far from home, far from help and out of cell coverage while riding it. The flange is now totally rusted, especially the bolt. It’s in a bad place and sees a lot of road debris, mud and wet. Poor conditions for a steel fastener.

Yes, I know I can just carry a spare with me.

My mind has turned to having someone fab a totally and completely overbuilt flange thingy out of stainless that will last a couple lifetimes.

Anyone know who might take on such a project?
