Rob did the engineering work for my engine and has built a collegues recently. 

 

Mine too and he knows what he is on about. However I wish I hadn't had the crank nitrided after he balanced it (my request).

Rob did the engineering work for my engine and has built a collegues recently. Both to a very high standard and he's happy to talk about your specs and requirements. 

Is Rob Walker easier to talk to in person?  I phoned him and found it difficult to talk about details.  Very friendly though.

My vote would be for Southam Mini and Metro. 

 

Good quality build and machining.

 

Would second that! Great builders and great group of guys

When I was there, it was difficult to get him to shut up! He's a very knowledgeable chap, but I did my initial communication via email.

Fair enough.  I wonder if he couldn't hear so well on the phone.
