Villiers made a four speed gearbox? Oh boy...
Sure did, for there trail and road bikes, neat looking units as well!
Hows your bike going? I take it you have been busy with other things?
Quite, i am finishing my car project so that i have something to drive
Im still wondering why he has machined the face and stub of that pulley, i mean im looking for tricks or the trade and it seems he may have gripped it on the outside of the pulley with the three jaw chuck/with external jaws and bored the centre hole, whether he got the wrong size or was rushing or whatever it doesn't matter, he f%^&d it up before he started tapping it, and i see no reason to machine the face of the pulley and the stub of the pulley, i am guessing he assumed that it was going on an industrial machine, and he was just stuffing around.
If your doing a job that requires a special tap you usually do charge the customer, but I don't usually because they are expensive and no doubt ill use them somewhere else anyway.
Either way he sounds like a wanker, but at least he isn't taking you to small claims or anything
Good luck mate,
Cheers, Cam.
