Just got a quote, £135 Is this a bit on the high side? The machining comes in at £82 on top of the cut gear blank with 22mm standard bore.
I don't like the way the MK spur gear flange only extends half way down the mounting bolt hole. The prop end on the origanal fitting uses a spigot to locate it on the diff flange, I have asked for the gear to be machined the same way, the same as a good quality wheel spacer replicates the hub centric fitting.
Any one got it done cheaper?????

I might have some ideas - have you got any sketches / pics ?


btw - this cost £130 for the machining, and thats after I bought the alloy and the trigger wheel

For a one off gear, in the correct material and properly machined not just chomped out, the price seems reasonable IMHO.

A lot of the cost for this sort of machining is setting up. So, a small gear can be relatively costly.

£82 for that little bit of machining
If you can bung the gear in the post to me , I'll do it for a drink (JD `n coke )

or three
