Hey Beav's - why don't you add your location in your profile when you get a chance? It's nice to know at a glance where folks hail from.

Hi, been to pickup today my newly made rear spindle/engine stud/rear caliper bolt from Phil Denton Engineering in Llanwrst North Wales 01492 641345. Awesome engineering & well worth the money! So if you're interested, contact Phil ASAP, you won't be disappointed. Just remember, you get what you pay for!!
