How to find a manufacturer?

[Atown512]

I'm back working on an old idea for a new product that I haven't gotten around to finishing. I got stuck and overwhelmed when trying to find a manufacturer that could produce my product. I have met with a product development company, but have simplified my original design and I now feel I don't need to pay the developer for a service that could easily be done by the manufacturer itself.

I have a simple drawing and description of my product that I think would be easy to produce. It is just a simple new addition to a very old product that is still being produced and is widely known. It will almost surely be made in China, Taiwan, or that general area.

I'm hoping to get some suggestions on how to approach these manufacturers with my idea. It shouldn't be hard to explain with the picture, what I want to have made, so I'm hoping I can go directly to the manufacturer.
