Minor Engineering Job

#1 PostAuthor: Fred the Zed » Sun Feb 19, 2017 11:41 am

Anyone know of an engineer in North / Central Birmingham who can do a small machining job for me?

I just need the rear axle cross-drilling for a split pin.

Have you got a pillar drill ? if so use a v block -- if not I can do it for you while you wait ( jcn2 m5 ) you can point out where you want it drilling and watch it being done

Ask Fred the Zed - I made sure it was lubed properly before giving a good drilling :)
