Engineers for drilling, turning metal parts in Ipswich

[Tradewinds]

There is/was an long-established engineering business in central Ipswich that can do drilling, turning of metal parts etc at reasonable cost.

Looking to have an aluminium sheave bored out and maybe have a bronze oilite type bush inserted.

Can't remember the name or location of the company but I think I recall Sailorman mentioning them (amongst others) on this forum.

Grateful for the name/address if anybody knows it.

Davey Machining Centre in the Old Boatyard (used to be Wright & Sons), Cullingham Road, just off Handford Road:

Can handle most machining jobs and have a fair stock of material. Not sure about oilite (who makes that since Manganese Bronze & Brass went belly up?) but it's worth asking.

Re: Oilite - you can tell I live in the past . I'm sure they'll advise me.
