Progress report? Thanks
Matt,

I called Simon on Friday.
Work is going ahead. Full scope.
Steve Pogson has been onsite , hence has not had time to send through the samples. When he has time back in office he will send two samples and PO.
So likely to be a January job.

Duncan,
Would you like me to contact Tefol and see where this is upto?

Duncan,

Is work happening, or would you like for me to ask them?

I have spoken with Simon Montgomery at TEFOL. The work is still going to happen. Its a rainy day job for them as they don't "need" a qualified procedure at this time, but they are aware than some of their customers are moving towards requiring a qualified procedure prior to awarding work.. So they are trying to get ahead of it.
One speed bump is that I have stated the steering arms are quenched and tempered, and therefore the test piece will need to be quenched and tempered to prove the welding does not soften the base material. 
They are looking to buy a used steer arm for the destructive qualification testing. They are however in short supply. When they can get one they will weld the test piece.
