Has anyone here dealt with RetroFord in the UK and are they OK to deal with?

I have never heard a bad word said about Dave Colledge, seems to be very reliable from all the reports I got.

I haven't tried all of his stuff that he makes up, but what I have seen was generally well made (not stunning and blingy though) and fitted correctly, for a very, very reasonable price

what is it you want from him?

Thanks Mark,

I am currently setting up a Type E/Rocket gearbox in the Twin Cam. I have an old Ford bellhousing to do the conversion that they made back in the 70's it is a Magnesium one. The clutch release setup is very poor and the magnesium where the slave mounts is a bit thin. So I thought I would use a concentric clutch bearing, he has them so do Burtons (they don't have any in stock). I will either try one of his or look at a Tilton one, big difference in price with a Tilton but from past experience the Tilton stuff is very well made. The one from Retro Ford is pre made to fit, Tilton will need modification.

Thanks
Bruce
