pugwash Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hi All, Just wondered if anyone with a home lathe would be able to help with a small project? i have 8 body mount pucks that i had made for a body lift- not sure what they are made of, but it looks to be the same material that after market suspension bushes are made of!). I've had them made too large at 50mm and need hem cutting down to 30mm and i can't get hold of the supplying company. Is there anyone not a million miles from Basingstoke/Newbury that would be willing to help? beer tokens/forum donations available of course. Many thanks, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I am a million miles away but if you get stuck you can post them up and I will machine them for you regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 could you slide them 30mm into a close fitting tube with a stop and slice with a 1mm disc in an angle grinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I'm in Southampton though my lathe is old and not very accurate. @FridgeFreezer is in Basingstoke and has a lathe whether he has time is another matter. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Thanks All, Mike thank you, might take you up on that if i can't find anyone closer. Will drop Jon a line and see if he is willing to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Jim, I can do them. I’m in Bristol on Tuesday or travelling from High Wycombe to Cranleigh on Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 If you can get them to Basingstoke I can take a look, I'm in the shed Saturday so could do a quick hack job on them while-u-wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
