Default Machinist required to make some alloy parts

Any one know of any one capable of making a couple of items out of alloy from scratch?

depends what shape they are first James, do you need machining, or turning, I know Dave G is pretty handy with the metal stuff.

There is a CNC machining company down the road from me if that helps...

Tom hit it right on the nose. My friends at fibrelyte couldnt copy the inner pivot blocks, as they are a slightly different design from the zx or zxr, so i need to get them made of alloy or steel. Whatever works for me. If thats the case Tom I will give to you on the 19th August and see if they can work their magic.

Mmm I know Craig Harris is pretty good as well, all depending if he has the equipment still. But still Wales is miles away from where i currently live so will pass to Tom and see if he can get it done. Thanks anyway.

My brother and I run a small CNC sub contract company. We can mill and turn, aluminium a speciality. We're always happy to talk..

To be honest Harris is like the busiest man alive, and considering he's got my shells to do soon he won't have time
