In the next few months I'll be needing a couple of exhaust flanges making up out of 5mm plate (I think?!). Does anyone here do that sort of thing? How much would it cost? I can provide the patterns.

Have heard Lenton Engineering mentioned, but never used them. There is a little place behind the Fire Station in Carlton I have used for a couple of bits of machining/welding with no problems (and 'no receipt'  ). I can get their number... |

A mate of mine can do that kind of stuff no problem, local too. Give me a shout if you need any help.
Who's making your doors guz, not the same bloke is it? Richard Esam?

has a workshop on the farm, you might see him pootling
around near your work in an ex BT grey transit, i think he
has some sort of deal going doing maintenance around the village.

There is an engineer in Top Valley Sehmi Engineers that can do this stuff - he owes me some favours for IT work that I have done for him as well. PM me mate if you need more info.
If you need anything CAD'ing up, I can do that for you as well!

Blimey! Spoilt for choice! Thanks  I've got my hands full with the weld-athon at the moment but I'm hoping by the spring I'll be in the mood to do some modding rather than fixing. |

Lets clear up car terms:
"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.
