I'm in need of a headstock tube being made. I would do it myself but don't have access to a lathe at the moment, and the machining man I usually use (for head skimming and stuff) is very busy at the moment.
Is there anyone that would be able to make me one, obviously I will pay and confirm dimensions..
I really need to get my hands on a lathe, but they seem to have shot up in price now, I remember when you could get a colchester student for a couple of hundred quid...
Any help is greatly appreciated..

I paid £150 to get mine machined up. It’s a fairly hefty lump. I can dig out the receipt and the name of the guy if that sort of price is acceptable.

Re: Headstock tube machining needed.
That would be awesome if you could please.
I was expecting to pay around £100-£200. The lump of metal alone is a fair chunk of change...
I was going to try and avoid the msva route, but there is too much that needs changing on the frame I was going to use to keep the id...

Here you go, I tried to add a pic of the receipt and information but it won’t let me add a pic in this thread for some reason. I had to send him one of my bearing so he could get the size just right.
