Oversize valve guides
« on: 27.09. 2013 13:52 »
G'day all.
I'm having trouble finding 4 thou and 2 thou oversize guides in cast iron. No problems getting bronze but I prefer ci in an iron head. I've tried the regular suppliers in Australia and haven't got a reply from Alpha. Would anyone know of a supplier in the UK that might have them. 10 thou over would do, I can turn them down.
Cheers

Thanks for that Andy. I have bought off C&D before. I'll shoot off an email and let you know. I'll need 8 and take 2 thou off 4 of them.

Why don't you make them from scratch, Musky?
