The few times they did it took a hell of a lot longer to get parts made as they had to tool up especially for it.

If the teeth are properly welded in then they shouldn't come out. Typhoon 2s teeth weren't recessed into the ring, merely shaped around the curve and then welded on. Never had a failure (Although we did get guys well experienced welding hardox to that for us).
Yeah, we are going to be getting them to do some aluminium parts that won't fit in my cnc, so will be asking them about it then. If they don't have the right drills we will probably just buy a couple packs and hand them over with the material.

Yeah, shouldn't have any problems. So long as our rather flimsy looking holders for the skateboard wheels don't break I think it will all go well.
