Excellent engineer

Hi All,
Just had my steering rebuilt by the Robin at Sims marine, made up new splined torque tube in the pedestal new splined shaft in the 45 degree gearbox fitted new bearings etc etc.
Also did me a longer rudder tube and shaft for the hydrovane.
What a top geezer this chap is. He will attempt the impossible and usually sort it for you.
If you have any broken/worn out bits most definetly worth a visit. He has a little machine shop in swanick. web site address is http://www.simsmarine.co.uk/, not much on it though.

No relation except a very very satisfied customer. Just thought he may be useful to someone.
Regards
Roy

Thanks for the recommendation - always good.

However, Mr Sims' website doesn't mention where he is located except "Hampshire". Can you say where his yard is please? (Maybe also he needs to take another look at his website and include his address?).
Thanks.

Hiya,
He is very close to Moody's (Premier)
Sorry don't want to publish his address on here as we don't know who reads what.....anti-terrorism and all that...hehhehehe
I am sure if you ring Robin he will give you his address.
Regards
Roy

Yep:

I agree.
Robin Sims provided some Edson bits for me and did some machining, very good work standard and very sensible on price. A decent chap to deal with as well.

The down side is he only uses a mobile phone but having dealt with him I can say ... First class.

He has a workshop at:
Bury Farm Industrial Estate at Curbridge, Southampton.

Highly recommended.

.....Peter

Any commercial website has to include this kind of information on at least one page.

It doesn't actually make it clear, but it does seem to apply to any business, not just companies.
