No not gonna sell the usual machining services u can get at lots of places - but i'm after services that are hard to come by.. My engineering freinds run a vintage car restoration business and have pretty much every machine in-house.. What services would you be interested in? They have full facilities to make gearsets too so can make just about anything you need.

I may be interested in a CWP making for an LSD which is maybe a 3.2 : 1 ratio, any idea what this would cost?

ok, rather than fire every enquiry at them as they come in, keep posting and i'll forward them each day.

They have a set of oscilli (or something like that) gearset they they are currently copying, and say they can copy other existing gearsets etc too. They can make 99% of the gearbox parts too but with superior materials and tolerances. They have fill skimming, boring, acid'ing, balancing, peening blah blah facilities too. These guys build complete Bugatti's from scratch - they can do anything. Its a father and son team, fathers been running it for 39 years.

well i did ask, and without wanting to upset any of the manu's and distro's that frequent these forums, they reckon even making a small batch of 10 could work out cheaper y.
