Alpha Bearings

[jon v8]

I'm in the middle of rebuilding an M20 BSA engine for a customer.I bought a big end assembly made by Alpha in Dudley,(From another supplier)on assembling it I found it was going to need altering - because the flywheel tapers were badly machined in the flywheels themselves.(The conrod had too much side clearance with the previous big end) machining tapers is not an easy task but when I called Alpha they offered to sort it out for me so I posted it to them on monday at 4pm.It came back in the post today at 10am,with the requested 17thou removed,it now has 10thou of side clearance as it should.All done FOC.

They didnt even charge me postage - the crank is now built up and trued ready to fit,a great relief.What a great service,I have no connections to Alpha at all,except as a very happy customer.

They did a couple of Greeves MX cranks for me a few years ago, they are very helpful and knowledgeable
