RE: [DMCForum] Need a bearing..

A good friend of mine is a machinist with a fully-equipped shop.  If you
need anything, and can send me explicit details, I can get him to make it
and he is not one of those like you describe.  Any savings may be negated by
the shipping, though.

Agreed, but I have had bad luck in dealing with
machinists..

The popularity of Jessie James has made it cool for
all fabricator types to be arrogant assholes.  At
lease Jessie tries to stick to a schedule and budget..
 Something the average machinist is never capable of.

So far, I waited 2+ years for a bell housing that was
supposed to take 6 weeks..  Then when I took the
flywheel in to be machined and modified for the
DeLorean clutch, it went from $40 to $120 and 1 week
to 8 weeks.

.... if I only had a lathe.
