I've just had some done at Wessex Galvanisers near Southampton. 30+ pieces done for £107. Not sure if that includes the VAT since I didn't ask and I've not picked up yet.

Quote from: cswagon on Yesterday at 03:50 PMThere appears to be a Stoplock Pro and a Stoplock Pro Elite but I can't see the difference myself.
An interesting article all the same thank you.

According to a similar test a year earlier (by the same author), "the Pro Elite model [...] costs a tenner more than the plain Pro, but has a deeper curve in the shaft to allow it to be fitted to cars with larger wheel centres."

I bought a second-hand Disklok and I can confirm that they are heavy, very heavy, and a bit awkward to manoeuvre around the steering wheel. I use it on the Jag, a Jaguar 420, and I have to open the door to be able to fit it around the steering wheel.

Hmm Medway galvanising down here in Kent has a minimum charge of £250+vat!! (However your allowed up to 200kg)
So I'd grab the opportunity at £90

As others have said ask around for others to bulk out your order and subsidise the costs. The next batch I will want to do I'll plan in advance-

That price is interesting, I checked with Hereford Galvanisers ( The Same Group ) a couple of weeks ago and it was £90 plus VAT minimum charge . I am waiting for my cousin  who is a Blacksmith & he has a job on at the moment that will need galvanising & I can add to that when he is finished .

Yes I agree a few peoples parts together will sort it. Just need a couple more people. Autorover1 undersheld plus my parts. Shropshire galvanising have a minimum of £114.0.
There only 30 min away from me.

First snowfall of the year here so I took the scenic route to buy bread and milk this morning... technically we didn't need either  :RHD

The snow ploughs work through the night so it's always unlikely you find a white road!

I think you'll struggle to find a place that doesn't have a minimum charge.

Combining your parts with others to make a larger batch is probably the answer, or use a third party that process a lot of metal for galvanising like a grit blasting company or fabricator.
