Fabricator - A Frame

Hi

I want to get an A frame fabricated for my Destroyer 5.3

Couldn't go with Humbers as it was too high to fit in my garage.

Just a single loop, non structural, to fit nav lights & VHF aerial, but do have a couple of specific requirements so want to get one made, as opposed to cut down / alter an off the shelf one.

Wandered if anyone had any recommendations in the Solent / Hampshire / Surrey area?

Thanks

Hartley

If you don't get any we have a bloke in Devon that's made a few bespoke ones - can do it from plan / drawings.

I know a guy, he's superb. No connection other than used him twice.

Give him a call, he can do that with his eyes shut. He has old school attention to detail.

Great thanks. Massively appreciated looks exactly the sort of person I’m looking for. Will give him a ring.

Solent welding at Fareham. They specialise in marine stuff. Pop in and have a chat, they’re very good at making stuff based on terrible drawings.
