hey guys i need to get a high range gearser machined up as mine is blown, and finding another transfer case is impossible.

question is who in wa has the machining facilities to manufacture a couple of gear cogs?... im getting desperate here and need to find a solution so i can get my project happening

putting in another transfer case is out of the question at this stage.

for anybody's reference the transfer case is out of a daihatsu f50 scat, but that shouldnt make a difference to the person making the gearset:P


cheers dave

geeeeeeeeez you wanna be fairly confident in their machining skills.

Brian @ Suzistore's brother owns a machine shop or something, could be worth investigating - 9250 4650

Try Albins in balerat vic he sends his gearsets all over the world so a couple of transfur gears to WA shouldnt be a problem.

Have you tried Toyota suppliers noting that there was a Toyota version of the same vehicle? You never know.

i have just had a gear cut quite cheap for a custom winch. the gentlemans name was Milan, from Darex engineering in Rowville, Vic. He is very competant but half the price of the large companies with 30 management staff to support.

03 97622480

he also does a lot of seemingly impossible repair work for the company i work for.

its nto cheap by anymeans and depends on the type you want cut and the accuracy and the material.

you can do one offs with a milling machine but arnt the best of things
this is where your cheap ones normally come from
