Machine Shop Assistance In Jacksonville

HI ALL.

We really could do with some help on this one.
We had our Port side engine break down, good and proper too.
We have bought a new Perkins and all is going great, we have one little
issue with the refit, we have a water pump">raw water pump that we are fitting straight onto the crank pulley, our problem is the bolt circle diameters between the new pump and the pulley do not match up.
I am a Tool, jig and die maker by trade so i really could make the adapting plate myself if i have access to a turret mill and lathe, otherwise any one with the ability to quote on making one for us, please get in touch with me via this post.

Thanks all

Re: MACHINE SHOP ASSISTANCE IN JACKSONVILLE

I wish could help but I am renting my house out that is attached to my shop and is now moth-balled, so I can move aboard. I have been in that situation before and talked to a shop owner and after convincing him I knew what I was doing, rented me time on his machines.
