KKtrips Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I got some wheels with the offset changed by him on Friday - bloody tidy job - haven't tried to balance them yet but will let you know.. He seems to be one of the better guys for it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Howatt and staff are pretty much the man/men. Driveshafts, wheels, general engineering etc. You can walk up/in and have a perve at whats going on and they will tell you if they can do it or not, chances are they can do it and it will be reasonable. He let my old man borrow his car trailer which is designed for land rovers, my dad only needed to fit an Austin Seven on it. Had to run boards down the centre so the austin didn't fall down the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
