Do any of the team know of a firm in the Derbyshire area that can balance my 1.5 Crankshaft ,clutch and Front pulley my contacts have long since retired?

Thanks for the heads up on Peter Burgess, I will call the company to see if they can do the balancing however I am not made of money and could not afford to have him build me an engine from scratch I have had all the required machining done and have a lot of NOS parts so that's why I need the crank etc balanced to prolong the life of the engine. Thanks for your prompt reply.

I've used a guy called Bill who is a few miles east of J20 (Lutterworth) on the M1. He has done several cranks for me previously & 'does' cash! 01455-881028 or 07768-577222.
Jeff.

I took my engine to Chase Engines in Newcastle Under Lyme. Seemed a good setup and they do everything in house. Peter Burgess is doing the head for me but only rebuilds 5 bearing B series engines. He may be able to do the balancing though.

Hello Nigel, While you are at it, think about weight loss. Not you but your flywheel.
This is the easiest way to save eight pounds of rotating mass!
I would post photos but the website adimin is lacking on maintenance.
