Common situations where restorers, race teams and performance shops send us a part instead of hunting a discontinued listing.
// Restorer / Enthusiast
"The part I need was discontinued decades ago — all I have is the worn original"
Send us the old or broken part. We reverse-engineer it from the sample (no drawing needed), reproduce it in the correct material and finish, and match the original fit. One-off reproductions are routine — see our reverse engineering and replacement parts services. MOQ 1.
// Race Team / Motorsport Engineer
"Billet suspension and bracket parts in 7075 — light, must take the load"
We machine custom billet uprights, control-arm brackets, mounts, steering and engine brackets in 7075-T6 or 4340 steel, hold tight tolerance on bearing bores, and hard-anodise. One-off and small-batch welcome; we control distortion on stressed parts.
// Tuner / Performance Shop
"Custom adapters, flanges and spacers — non-standard, anodized to match"
We machine custom exhaust flanges, sensor bungs, wheel and pulley spacers, adapter plates and brackets in 6061, 7075 or stainless, to your drawing, sketch or sample. Anodised in the colour you need. Batches of 5–500.
// Small OEM / Fleet Workshop
"Short run of a custom automotive component — needs material certs"
We quote tiered pricing, machine a first sample for approval, supply EN 10204 3.1 material certs and inspection reports, then run repeat batches. Aluminium, alloy steel, stainless or titanium to ±0.005 mm on critical features.
