Classic car & motorcycle parts
Gear selectors, linkages, brackets, bushes and trim fittings for vehicles whose makers stopped supplying spares decades ago.
Replacement parts · Family run since 1946
No longer made isn't the same as gone.
We make bespoke replacement and spare parts for the things nobody stocks any more - obsolete, discontinued, or never sold separately in the first place. Send us the broken original, a photograph with a ruler beside it, or just tell us what it did. We'll measure it, draw it and make you a new one.
One worn-out part is a real job. It's most of the interesting ones.
- No drawing needed
- No minimum order
- A price within a day
- Made in our own Stoke-on-Trent workshop
What we replace
If it broke, wore out or went missing, we can usually make another
The parts below come up most often. They're examples, not a menu - if yours isn't here, ask anyway.
Machine & equipment spares
Shafts, spacers, rollers, gears and pulleys for older machinery, where the original manufacturer has moved on or gone.
Worn shafts & bores
A shaft remade to size, or a worn bore sleeved and brought back - often cheaper than replacing the whole assembly it sits in.
Gears, pulleys & keyways
Turned and milled, with internal keyways and splines cut on the slotter - and rotors balanced before they go back in.
Plastic clips, knobs & covers
The small plastic part that snapped and holds the whole thing up. Printed, or machined from acetal or nylon where it has to last.
Brackets & fabricated parts
Mounts, brackets and covers fabricated and welded in steel, stainless or aluminium - copied from the original, or improved on it.
Worth knowing
The broken one is worth more than a perfect description
If you still have the original, send it - even in pieces, even worn to nothing on one side. A part tells us things nobody thinks to write down: the material, how it was made, which face does the work and where it actually failed.
If you don't have it, a photograph with a ruler beside it and the part it fits onto will get us a long way. Tell us what it did and what went wrong - a part that wore out is sometimes worth making a little better than the one it replaces, and we'll say so if we think it is.
Once we've drawn it, we keep the model on file. The next one skips most of the work - which is why we will often suggest "have a spare while we're set up".

How it gets made
Whichever way suits the part
You don't need to choose - we'll pick the process from what the part has to do. Everything happens under one roof, so a part that needs two of these still gets one quote.
Machined
CNC and manual milling and turning in steel, stainless, brass, bronze, aluminium and engineering plastics - inspected on a CMM where it calls for one. More on machining.
3D printed
For plastic parts, and for a test piece to check the fit before the real one is cut in metal. More on printing.
Fabricated & welded
Sheet work, folding and TIG and MIG welding in steel, stainless and aluminium, for brackets, mounts and housings. More on what we make.
Talk to us
Describe it badly. We'll work it out.
You don't need a part number, a drawing or the right name for it. Tell us what it's from and what it does - that's usually plenty to get started.
- First Send us what you've got. Photos, a sketch, or the broken original - post it in or bring it to the workshop.
- Then We'll come back with a price. Usually within a day, with anything that would make it cheaper or last longer.
- Finally We measure, draw and make it. Then post it out, or you collect it from the workshop.
