Need to get a TVR V8 bottom end crank etc 'internally balanced' and fly and pully neutrally/zero balanced and would like to know of any local GOOD machine shops local(ish) to Southend. Preferably that do race engines...not just a eurobox refurb place

I've got the option of sending away, but would like to stay local if a decent place exists.

Also anyone used a good local sand/media blasters capable of taking a TVR Griffith Chassis and having it back etch primered?

Cheers,

Virgil...

Not sure if they will work on a TVR but Ricky Cann (Aston Martin) based in Shoeburyness do complete AM refurbs. Do a google search and give them a call as if they don't want your business they should be able to earn a beer or two from their suppliers if they have folks that do what you are looking for.

Thanks - very helpful chap - put me in touch with Mike Jennings who apparently does a lot of work for mountune, so hopefully not too shabby!
