Who machines 915 cases?
 
Unfortunately Wevo isn't doing it anymore. I know about CMS. Are there other's out there who do the work? My main case races and final drive case races are both spinning.

Call Tom at Carquip in Colorado.

Brian Copans, at BMC and Gee in Ohio can do it for you.

I found out the same when I needed a set done. Wevo seems to be slowly going into retirement (unfortunately). I think the kidney shaped single piece insert was the optimal solution but sadly no longer an option.

So, plan "B" was CMS. I was happy with the service provided by CMS. Highly recommended. I also purchased a single piece bearing retainer and a billet side plate from them. Wevo parts are really nice but one-stop shopping at CMS was convenient.

Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Thanks everyone! This gives me a good start.

I spoke with Wevo a short while ago, and although they are not fixing cases sent to them, they do have units in stock that they are selling. Otherwise CMS is very reasonable.

Someone should take over doing the Wevo inserts, or maybe take over Wevo.

I had TwinSpark in Holland machne in a Wevo insert for me a few years ago. It cost, but I’ll never worry about those bearings ever again. Or anything else I went over-the-top on with that gearbox.

(Sorry this doesn’t help the OP in Iowa. Good luck.)

You cannot go wrong with CMS. I use them regularly, they've never let me down.

I spoke to Hayden recently and Wevo is not going anywhere. The machinist he used for the case repairs and inserts retired, so he decided to just discontinue certain products.

We originally developed the insert with them many years ago (like 20) and I’ve considered bringing it back since he’s no longer doing it. I just haven’t found a machinist that I want to work with on it, yet.
