Can anyone help? I need a one-off (ok, two) custom bushings. I’ve tried all the obvious web sites etc. Local shops ‘don’t have the time’ and don’t really ‘get it’ tbh 👿

Also tried a couple of UK mtb related companies….time thing again 🙁

So, anyone what to earn some quality beer tokens for 15/20 mins lathe time? I could easily DIY (was an engineer way back), but no lathe.

I find trying your local machine shop in person with the part often works. Once they realise it’s a quick job they might even fit you in whilst they wait.

Contact ‘bren2709’ on SouthernDownhill.com, he seems to be able to sort stuff.

If to need any custom hardware made up give me a shout mate.
Well if you require anything made that is.
Can also sort shock mounts on the rear arm if you were to send it up.

Thanks for that xiphon, will try him.

tuckerUK, i hear you..but tried it and the ones I visited wit frame and parts found the whole thing …well..amusing….’a push bike’?

Say no more.

…just reporting back, the guy did an awesome job. Exactly to spec and finished really well.

Top geezer, patience in extremis with me going on hols without letting him know….bad form I agree.

Will defo be using his machining skills again.

my father machines parts up for my motorcycles in no time if anyones in windermere and needs stuff doing he’s usually about works form measurements or ‘be spoke to fit’
