Has anyone stateside ordered from this company? How was your experience with them?

... or from across the pond for that matter. Interested in quality of the castings and shipping logistics.

I made the larger simplex pump a number of years ago and it is still going on Grayling, It does however have some faults,
The drawings contained a number of errors but they may now be corrected. The shuttle valve is noisy as it runs up & down unrestricted, ideally the shuttle exhaust port should be covered by the shuttle to allow cushioning, I guess this would be easy to do but I have never got around to it. Peter Southworth is a nice chap, there should not be a problem shipping.

Thanks, Jack. That is all very helpful. I'll give him a ring.
