musky don't get me started on grinding, i got let down by the so called experts at 4 different factory's before and after i thought me and MWAS would sort my taper out. even MWAS got really fed up after all the preparation he had done for the pencil air grinder .i think these factory's just set up for repetitive jobs week in week out with no one offs allowed unless you are prepared to pay 3 to 4 times the price of the unit. there is a lot more involved than just weld it up and grind it back , it is very easy saying it but doing it creates more problems than looking after me on a bad trip
. pre heating , distortion , heat treatment , diamond cutters for the correct stone , profile . wear of stone re hardening etc etc , i say forget that and sacrifice a meal for two in a pub and buy the shafts with gears from evil bay. no disrespect to RD he is more than capable , but i know this would be so difficult and more hassle than 60 squid! i rest my case . ps oil tank in the berglar build today , things are moving ----- mighty slowly ---- like me
