machining ally hubs
a good while backsomebody on here was machining ally hubs at a good rate.
I am after some small batches (prob only 4 off or so) of a couple of different hubs machining. I will be supplying a reasonable drawing (if I can
ejucate myself enough then it'll be 3d in pro engineer! )
any ideas on who and how much roughly (dimensions are pretty much similar to escort)
cheers

flak monkey's advertising billet alloy pulleys, maybe might be worth a few discussions?
lol, ejucate

don't write OT on a new thread title, you're creating the topic, everything you write is very much ON topic!

deckman001 did a big run of cortina ones a long time ago. I dont remember anyone else doing any though and I know he sold his.
If you can email me a rough sketch with approx dims etc I can work out a cost if its of interest. All I can say at the moment is that custom machined
ones will be more expensive than the off the shelf CNC ones.

Oh I appreciate they'll be more expensive!
They will be CNC though, I will supply a solid model to do the toolpaths from. They are pretty simple on a hub, so on a CNC lathe with live tooling
they should work out pretty reasonable
Just need to do some looking up of fits for bearings, long time since I've put them on a drawing rather than just doing it "in my
head"!!

If you want a hand with bearing fits let me know (U2U)
You may find a small production run or prototyping in a machine shop is prohibitively expensive, even with teach CNC at £60+/hour plus materials.
Most small engineering shops wont have CAD/CAM facilities to work from a solid model as the equipment is prohibitively costly (the software runs about
£20k last time I looked). You might find a shop with teach type CNC machines though with graphical controls where the 2d drawing info is put in, they
are fast to program and as quick as a full CNC machine in machining the parts and more versatile in small production runs.
If you know someone with the capability you might get a better deal 
U2U me if you want to discuss - I do know a few toolroom type workshops who will be able to help and I can pass on contacts.
