Hi there folks, does anybody know of an engineering firm locally who i could get to re-drill my new flywheel for me?

Some companys i have spoken to have said they won't do it but i know it is safe due to the fact the flywheel sits on a hub, i just need the holes elongated to the correct PCD.

So does anybody know a friendly company who'd take the job on for me?


Cheers,
Olie

Try ORB Engineering in Motherwell. Failing that, drop me a pm and I can do it for you.

Much thanks to Tim for taking me up to his engineer, good to meet you chief smile

Unfortunately, after a little testing it turns out i need to have the flywheel spark erroded, due to the material, it's chromoly (sp?) and tough, which allows it to be full of holes and light.

Tim's got someone for me to try tomorrow but if they can't do it, any suggestions for somewhere that can do spark errosion?


cheers,
