    any good jobbing shops out there?

    Does anyone know of a good jobbing shop?
    I need a 40mm spacer made up between the fan & water pump on my ute.
    it needs to accommodate 4 bolts & a locating nipple for the fan so will probably need to be machined from a billet core made of some light alloy.
    who does this stuff? basically the same concept as found on older car's water pump they have that alloy spacer thing behind the fan.
    ..it's another red light nightmare..

    Since you are in Hunua, Papakura Engineering could do it. If I was actually at home more often, I would do it for you for beer.

    thanks geoff, I'll check them out. it saves me running round wreckers yards trying to match a holden/ford one up against a toyota. the chances of finding a match will probably be next to none...
    Dam! i love the internet! i just called PPK engng. who said Perf pts sell them so I ring them & they have a universal fit item available for $39.
    how farken cool is that & all within the space of 10 mins going from scratching my head to looking good... yehoo

    update:
    Dam! no go, so it's back to the engineering shop for an expensive custom alloy machined billet spacer with locating spigot ...sigh
