Default Unique Reyland parts stolen, scrap metal deals in Norwich, Norfolk area??

Sadly the machine shop in Norwich that I use to machine my OS Giken to YB belhousings has had a break in and amongst other metal stolen were 6 of these unique belhousings

If anyone in the area has contact with any of the scrap metal merchants can you ask them to keep their eyes open for them. If they have already bought them I will buy them back and give them a drink on top.

Thing is they only weigh about 10kg each so the scrap value is not that high, they are worth much more to me!!

Have spoken to J G Graver, and they're on the look-out!

(which is the one near Poringland)

The machine shop (Norfolk Precision) is in Marsham - North Norfolk off the Cromer Road.

If thats the case mike any scrap dealer would quite happily buy them & keep them bye for safe return...
Might be worth getting yellow pages & giving all the ones in the area a call.

Not sure if he is still in business, but Peruzzi would be the best port of call for scrap metal.

I wouldn't mind betting that these have been weighed in already I am banking on that and have ordered another ten to be cast from the foundry... At least they are insured!

Thats not good.

As Mike said they aint worth much, The price of scrap is falling and is likely to fall quite abit more. Saying that people will weigh anything in....Even as little as 95p's worth.

The road immediately behind the old Skoda garage has one of the biggest tea leaves going living there, also steals scrap metal and anything else not nailed down, coincidence ?
