 Looks like the Kilmartin site is up and running this morning.  I corresponded with them in late July and all was well at that time.  Reminds me to get my ever changing order in,  Past orders have gone really well; reasonable prices and prompt shipping.

Update on the driveshaft grease fitting. Little did I realize when I replaced the u-joints early in the rebuild process the grease fittings in the new u-joints would be metric. M6x1. I tried the original longer grease nipples but the threads don't match. Will try to source longer metric lon 6Mx1 on-line.
I would recommend getting longer grease nipples when buying a new u-joint or making sure the old grease nipples will fit.

Guys,

I do not imagine that Kilmartin has shut down but you can no longer get on their website. Anyone knows what is happening?

 Website is not visible in Australia either. I rang their telephone and it seems to be still connected, but unanswered (Sunday afternoon though). Probably some technical difficulty, but there has been some talk on the list about them retiring some months agoJohn RoweQld Australia

Hello

  

The below was on the bottom of a message received from Greg Kilmartin about two weeks back.

  

I would say the website is down.

  

My understanding is that the brothers Kilmartin will be staying on with the new owners for 12 months.

Update to KAS Future - 14th February 2022

Since our decision to close KAS has been made public, we have been inundated with enquiries/orders and the desire for KAS to be able to continue on.

We are now in deep consultation with a keen and enthusiastic purchaser.

At this point in time all is progressing well, with their aim to carry on the business under the same name/ location with a lengthy transition and to keep producing the same lines.

To our valued clients.

After many years of making parts we have decided to call it a day !

We will be taking & filling orders from current stock up to the 31st May 2022 and closing up on the 30th June 2022.

Thanking everybody for all the years of friendship and support during the journey.

Kind regards from John,Greg & Gordon – your KAS team.
