alrighty!
i have a company here that does heat treating. they have done some valves
and other racing related stuff for my shop. the price? i have to take the
specific piece to them and i need to knoe what hardness in the rockwell
scale you choose! then they will give an estimate as to the cost. their
business is very precise. we have had no problems with their work in the
past but it is not production work and they do things like this piece by
piece. soif you choose to have a set of axles hardened......i can get it
done! but it starts with my taking the parts to the shop and them giving
an estimate on the physical parts themselves. this is all they do , heat
treating parts.
