Looking for somewhere to make me some adapters to fit GSXR TB's to a DCOE pattern manifold.

Does anyone know somewhere that will do small volume (4 - 12 off) machined parts ?) They will look like a DCOE flange with a stepped tube projecting from the center and be made of either a light aluminium alloy or a free machining stainless, I'm not really fussed.

Had thought about using the E-machine shop in the US but would rather spend the cash in the UK if they price is good enough.

P.S hope this is the correct section

Cheers,
Mike

On a few occassions I have needed some specialist machining or batch jobs that I was too lazy to spend hours on my lathe doing - these guy's came up trumps at VERY reasonable cost (small family firm)

Even let me supply the material on one job - gave him drawing and picked up the cnc bits a few days later - 1st class.

Dave is the guy I dealt with

this is a small company thats done several jobs for my company.

Its got a staff of about 3 people, they are usually very good at making one off and lowish qty machined parts.

Thanks, thats given me some ideas.

have contacted a local machine shop to see what they can do, will keep you posted.

Do any of the above companies have e-mail contacts ? (I have electronic copies of the drawings for quotation)

Regards ~ Mike

bugger

will see what the locals can come up with first then.

got a reply back from the local engineering place, £32.75 a piece for 4 off or dropping to £21.74 a piece for 12off

is that reasonable or should I try round some more places ? (drawings attached)

can probably back off some of the tolerances somewhat too, although theres nothing thats going to be that hard to achieve.

I'd get some more quotes!

got some similar parts off a mate for £10 for 4 ... at least I know where not to go next time
