not sure where to put this thread so stuck it in here. need to get a small spacer made up for my front wheel (bandit wheel and spindle on tl forks) due to the wider fork spacing the wheel moves so need a spacer made to stop this 
anyone on here can do this?? been asking about around me but no-one willing to do such a small job 
13mm length by 18mm diameter by my measurements…any help appreciated! can get it done and sent over but would prefer local so asking here 1st 
Know this feeling. Piece of pss to make yourself if you had the machine shop, but a real bastrd to find someone to do it. (How can a job be too small? Surely you just price your time and give a take or leave it deal price.)
Anyway, “Old Bike Mart” is a paper for those that run “classic” machines and has a good classified section of service providers. They tend to be up North but tend to be good and reasonable
Or, try Brian on 01609 871 263. (Orpington area) He’s an independent motorcycle mechanic with a little bit of a machine shop but he also knows “people that do things”.
Then there is Barry who advertises in the BMW club journal, except not in the only issue I can lay my hands on! (I can get those contact details in a few days, but not right now. Sorry.)
cheers for the reply mate, i can get it made up by people and posted to me but its just that case of would rather have it done local so any probs etc i can get it sorted quick. thanks for the advice though fella always comes in handy at some point

ask terry/el diablo, he might be able to point you somewhere am sure he had to get some stuff done for his bandit build
or ask on Oldskoolsuzki, there are some talented machinists on there.
+1 - I haven’t been on there for a while since my beloved slingshot was written off, but there is some fantastic engineering talent on there.
I Could ‘knock’ one up for you if you like! How soon do you want it? I dont go back untill the 5th, if its a spacer that the front spindle goes through…13mm thick x 18mm i’m guessing I.D. (inside diameter) what is the O.D.(outside diameter)? If you can wait that long, P.M. me your Addy and i’ll post it to you next week.
tried a couple of the places on your list chunky but no luck
