Machining parts

[barryjdart]

Does anyone have access to a lathe or know of a good, reasonably priced machine shop? I have a couple of bits that I need to have made. If I had a lathe I would do them myself but the lathe went about 23 years ago. They ideally need to be in aluminium. Full drawings will be provided.

Any more on this? The car goes into the spray booth in a couple of weeks so need to get these parts sorted soonish.

Have you asked Phil ?

[barryjdart]

Not yet. Richy200 said that he knew someone but have not heard back from him since emailing the drawing. I send Phill an email with the drawing.:thumbs:

[ricky3510]

I sent it last week. Via email.

[ricky3510]

Oh :S i didn't get it mate....

[barryjdart]

Is your email address as in your profile? I.e.

ricky3510@aol.com

[ricky3510]

Yeah thats correct, try again mate :)

[barryjdart]

Emailed again. :thumbs:

[ricky3510]

Got it :) will speak to my dad tomorrow and let you know.

[ricky3510]

Slightly confused by the drawing. What is it for exactly?

[barryjdart]

It's an end fitting for push rod.

[Phill]

I think this is what your after?

With the guys I deal with mate this part will be expensive for what it is simply because it's a one-off item. Someone who's got a lathe will be able to knock it up for you in minutes for very little money!

[ricky3510]

Thats a bit better. My dad said £40 for the two of them :)

[barryjdart]

Thanks Phil, much better drawing. :thumbs: If I still had my lathe I would quickly machine a couple, it would be quite simple.

Ricky I am waiting on one other quote and will the get back to you. Thanks.
