    Machinist Required for axle and spacers

    Can people post who they would recommend to machine an axle and necessary spacers when the forks or wheels have been changed, also would they machine different offset brake carriers too.

    The key requirement is that the wheel is in the centreline and the axle doesn't weigh heaps

    Try DG Engineering in Newlands or I think he has a workshop in Grenada. He does all sorts but does build his own race cars and does fantastic work. Also a one-stop shop, he can do the lot. Bit hard to keep on a schedule sometimes. I've got him to help me out with a few bike projects. His TIG welding is the best I have ever seen.
