Mchine shop in Melbourne Aust.

[Jules]

Hi All, I'm getting very frustrated because I've been waiting 6 months now for a local machine shop to machine my headstock so that I can get on with my rebuild - you may remember from my prior posts that the bearing cup doesn't sit flat/square in the upper bearing holder because its been loose and bashed around by prior abusers  . It took me a few months of searching previously to find somebody prepared/capable of doing the job which is why I've been "patient", til now....
Does anybody know of a capable machine shop in/around Melbourne that would take on such a job pleeaeaeaeaese???? ta....

G'day Jules, the only fella I know down there is John Scerri at Lytedrive. Funny bloke to talk to but isn't short on the grey matter.
lytedrive@optusnet.com.au  hope he still has that email.

Cheers

"He's not cheap"
I know nothing about him, but that is already a good endorsement!

We usually only get what we pay for!

[WozzA]

Yeah.. his workmanship is 1st class...

Couldn't imagine a business like that in Mont Albert being cheap 
Getting what you pay for is more important.
Not sure if they still do jobbing work...or if they're still operating the lathes but Vickery Engineering/Richmond Steel supplies in Burnley used to do high quality bits and pieces for me.

thanks all, I'll start doing the rounds, much obliged....
