There is a guy on another forum I use, who runs a company with a Water Jet machine.
a couple examples of waterjet cutting, first one was a cable-hydrolic clutch convertion, and you can see 100mm stainless steel offcuts being used a weights to hold it still. and also my old 1400 cylinderhead i cut in half, and my current bottom suspension mounts from 6mm stainless Ralph If anyone needs, I can link him this thread, or pass on details. He seems to be a car nut too, so hopefully will go easy on people :) 9.85 @ 145mph

I'm lucky, I have a place which does water jet cutting, another which does cnc machining and two places which do laser cutting all walking distance from home. Team www.sheepspeed.com Racing

I know Ralph from the mine exploring bunch I hang out with. He's based in the W of Cornwall. Sort of Redruth area. If I remember rightly, he has a metro with a silly engine. Good bloke, but get your orders in quick as he is probably going to kill himself abseiling down huge mineshafts on suspect equipment. I can vouch for him being up to hear from you. When I see him, I'll get him to register and post.
Bugger off, I'm getting there. |
