Default Banjo Rear Rebuilder needed in NJ

I'm looking for recommendations for someone in New Jersey area that can rebuild a Banjo Rear. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dan

I just completed a compete rebuild and gear change on a 1935 Ford banjo rear changed from 411 to 325 gear. Not that far from Jersey.

I live in West Caldwell and Ron is 2.5 hours from me. If you want it to be absolutely dead nuts perfect, he’s your guy.

Every time he & I talk, I learn something new. I’m impressed by his knowledge and mechanical and machining abilities.

I’m sure I’m embarrassing him a bit by gushing on like this, but it’s all true.

Paul,

Let's keep that on the down low. LOL.

Ron,

Switching those gears out must have really helped the owner improve his fuel economy.

Well I have to admit better fuel economy and lots more top end speed. Now you guys are letting the secret out Im not only good at making lots of power out of our beloved valve in block engines but also helping get more miles per gallon.. LOL
