    Arrow CAM Regrinds?

    Just wandering if anyone has had their cam/s reground and if someone knows of a good place in Adelaide to get it done? Cheers

    Noted, I'll ask him where he got it done unless he picked it up second hand. Cheers

    There is one place that does regrinds but I'm not sure if any actually do hardfacing..... They are about the Wingfield area.

    And in all honesty, the extra $30 in 2-way postage is offset by the number of profiles and technical help places like Tighe Cams will provide you with.

    Rep points are for those who feel inadequate in other areas !

    Places i was looking at include Tighe Cams (expensive), Clive Cams, Kelford Kams, Waggot Cams,

    But i ended up buying from overseas.... (and it ended up costing more )

    Got a message from Gav and he had his done at:

    John Moyle Motor Engineering
    1a Collins St, Enfield, SA 5085

    abently, it's not the postage I'd be worried about with Tighe Cams but just the overall price. You do pay for what you get and I hear they make a quality cam but for what I'm going to be using it for it won't be worth me spending that much cash unfortunately.

    Rad28, I found your other thread I believe and looked up all those names, really keen to go somewhere local in Adelaide if possible that's the only thing. Thanks
