A client came to us with a badly damaged front upright from his early eighties Arrows A6 Formula One. Using our knowledge and experience of historic Formula One cars, we set about repairing the damage in a way that would retain the original appearance of the car. The upright was glass-bead blasted, magnesium welded and machined; then finally, steel bearings and studs were designed, manufactured and fitted to the upright. To ensure that the restoration process would be succesful, the finished casting was subject to non-destructive testing procedures to guarantee structural integrity, before undergoing a Black Chromate process to an Aircraft specification. The entire process was done in-house and completed in less than five days.

A customer came to us with the the painful thoughts of having to completely replace the steering rack of his 1972 Porsche 911SC at the cost of in excess of €1400. Instead of taking the easy route we sourced or manufactured the parts to completely refurbish the steering rack, including all new bushes, bearings and seals. The total cost for this including fitting was less than £400, a saving of nearly 70% over a new rack.
