Hello Andy,
I too regret that I need to withdraw my former request for two off items.
It is now apparent to me how fortunate I was in getting my one-off special pinion made. I was directed to a company whose business was gears and where there was an appreciation of Classic and Vintage vehicles. They were extremely tolerant of my small job and I was prepared to wait until a suitable tab-end of correct material was ‘left over’ and to wait even longer for a suitable batch of heat treatment to be just right for my job. By comparison a normal commercial job with material bought in especially and time allocated to set up for a small batch will appear to be costly.
Thank you for the efforts you have made on our behalf, it was very thoughtful.
Regards, Colin.
