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 ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

Also tried a couple of UK mtb related companies....time thing again ๐Ÿ™

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.

Cheers

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.
