Away from books for the moment and it seems im drawing a complete blank in where to find it aswell.

Where are the rules that say that another character can supply the spells (or other requirements) for item creation?

The most important question. Wilding clasp from MIC says you need wild shape for making it.
Are there any RAW that says that it can be provided from another character?

thanks

From the SRD:

Prerequisites
Certain requirements must be met in order for a character to create a magic item. These include feats, spells, and miscellaneous requirements such as level, alignment, and race or kind. The prerequisites for creation of an item are given immediately following the item’s caster level.

A spell prerequisite may be provided by a character who has prepared the spell (or who knows the spell, in the case of a sorcerer or bard), or through the use of a spell completion or spell trigger magic item or a spell-like ability that produces the desired spell effect. For each day that passes in the creation process, the creator must expend one spell completion item or one charge from a spell trigger item if either of those objects is used to supply a prerequisite.

It is possible for more than one character to cooperate in the creation of an item, with each participant providing one or more of the prerequisites. In some cases, cooperation may even be necessary.

If two or more characters cooperate to create an item, they must agree among themselves who will be considered the creator for the purpose of determinations where the creator’s level must be known. The character designated as the creator pays the XP required to make the item.

Typically, a list of prerequisites includes one feat and one or more spells (or some other requirement in addition to the feat).

When two spells at the end of a list are separated by "or," one of those spells is required in addition to every other spell mentioned prior to the last two.

Note that it doesn't say simply prerequisite spells can be supplied by a second party, but any prerequisites. This would include class features such as wildshape, or racial features such as being an elf.

Thank you.
Saved me some time in digging. Been far to long since i made a character that created items in 3.5 for anyone else than himself.

Since you are interested in the sharing of prereqs for making items, then you might also be interested in this web enhancement (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20060526a). It allows you to also share the xp cost for making items.
