Hi All
I live In Australia and are trying to find a reliable shop that will supply, machine and send to Australia a new bubble top case.I don't want to sound like a sour grape but I have been trying one famous USA shop but they want to charge twice the going rate for freight (UPS) and now after many calls and emails I get no reply.
Hope you can help

Cheers
Richard

Richard, I've had really excellent work done by Crankshaft Engineering (outside of Brisbane). Dave Butler (Dangerous Dave) has also bought a mill and is an EXTREMELY capable machinist.
Out of the USA I get very good service from Bergs, it can be slow but it happens, and I've never had to send anything back due to poor quality. I've also had very bad service from other vendors. I haven't tried Brothers or Paradise but they regularly get a good rap. I'd be keen to know how you get on.

You can try   automotive machine and supply in ft worth, Texas  They do good work and their turn around is faster than most the more popular machine shops, price is usually better too.
