Anyone help with bit of lathe work
As in the title, I need to get some longer suspension crush tubes made up as the ones i have at the moment are about 4mm to short. I'm after
18 tubes measuring 13mm O/D, 9.8mm I/D and 39mm long pref in stainless.
Anyone out there able to lend a hand, as always cash or beers tokens are available.
Many thanks Dan.

Just a suggestion..cant you just use washers to make up the space? I know they are a pain to hold but it could be an option if you cant find anyone to
do them for you.

Damn that was quick,
Cheers Jason, the workshops on camp are having a bit of a clamp down on private work at the mo.
David, I've been using washers but they clamp and distort the rubber bush that the crush tube sits in, making the wishbone movment
inconsistent.
Cheers all the same Dan.

I have a technician who trained as a turner with Royal Ordnance who could spit them out nae bother but we haven't any stainless about also a
bit far away, on Scotish border - if you can't get something local come back to me.

I can probably help out in a few weeks if your in no hurry,my engineer has just moved house so all the machinery is is just piled everywhere at the
moment (picture to follow)
When he's back up and running he wants to keep busy with little jobs to stop him and the machinery seizing up

do need the machining done I can do it either friday or sunday if I can find the correct material!
