Steve Maney is in the U.K. at present so he’d be my first choice.

Seager engineering also have an excellent reputation.

I think there may be some highly capable members of this forum who can also do it…

Whereabouts are you in the UK? Maney is in Yorkshire, Seager are in Suffolk, myself in Humberside.

In the North West (near Blackpool) David Burton has done a few for me using bronze inserts

Hi, I recently had a pair done by SRM, a good price and quick turnaround (3-4 weeks) bronze/ brass inserts ( I did supply a pair of new roses)
A couple of years ago for my wifes MK2a, we tried Seager Engineering but after telling us how good they were their lead time was about 8 months, totally useless as they collect a batch of however many before completing the job.

A victim of their own success. OK for those who can wait, I guess.
I seem to recall Steve Maney would also wait until there was a batch to do. Quite understandable.

David Burton typically turns things around within a week.
He originally had the contract to do the work on Lancashire Constabulary's Commando fleet, where (at the time) he had oversized roses made in bronze, and re-threaded the heads to suit, presumably for a fast turnaround.

I've had work done at seager engineering
It was excellent
He was a one man band I'm not sure if he still is

That’s a lot of dosh. Though there is some consolation in the fact that two nice stainless rose nuts and special wrench are included.

AFAIK Steve Maney charges £139.00 for BOTH sides (plus postage and vat).

Hi Eddie, you pay your money and make your choices, I know which I prefer.
Not sure if Steve Maney is trading much these days but his products are second to none.
