OBSOLETE CAR PARTS · CUSTOM MACHINING

Hard-to-find parts for classic cars, made again.

Restoring a Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Datsun, Toyota, or another rare classic? If a part is discontinued, broken, or impossible to find, we can reproduce it or machine a custom solution. We work on vintage motorcycles too.

WHAT WE CAN MAKE

Obsolete car parts.
A practical way forward.

From a missing hinge to an engine bracket that has not been sold in decades, we start with the part you need and the car it has to fit. Send the original, a drawing, measurements, or photos. We’ll review material, fitment, quantity, and the best way to make it.

One-off replacements and small runs for classic cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

01

Discontinued part reproduction

Brackets, mounts, hinges, latches and broken originals recreated for a specific car.

02

Engine & drivetrain

Billet replacements for cast aluminum parts, valve covers, pulleys, linkages, shifter parts and bearing carriers.

03

Wheels, brakes & chassis

Wheel hubs and adapters, steering and suspension parts, caliper adapters, axles and spacers.

04

3D scanning & reverse engineering

Work from an original part, customer drawing, scan or sample to develop a one-off replacement or small run.

3D SCANNING & REVERSE ENGINEERING

Have the original, but no drawing?

We can scan an existing part to capture its shape and use that information as a starting point for a replacement. Critical fits and dimensions still need to be checked against the vehicle and mating parts before we machine it.

Send us your part details
A STARTING POINT IS ENOUGH TO ASK

Broken, worn, or just unavailable?

Projects often begin with a broken casting, cracked bracket, weak original design, discontinued part, or a used component that costs more than a new replacement should. We can also assess where improved strength is desirable, with material and design chosen for the application.

What we can work from

  • An original, broken, damaged, or worn part
  • Technical drawings or CAD files
  • Customer measurements and reference dimensions
  • Photos
  • Mating components or existing assemblies

Send whatever you have. We’ll identify the dimensions and fit checks needed before making a part.

FOR CLASSIC & RARE CARS

Keep the car.
Replace the missing piece.

We welcome projects for Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Datsun, Toyota, Alfa Romeo, British sports cars, vintage Broncos, Land Cruisers, C10s, Mustangs, and air-cooled Volkswagens. Tell us the year, model, and part you need.

FROM IDEA TO PART

From an old part
to a new one.

  1. 01 / Show us the part

    Tell us the year, make and model, what the part does, and what is missing or damaged. Upload photos, drawings, CAD files, or measurements.

  2. 02 / We review the job

    We’ll discuss fitment, materials, quantity, and whether we need the original part or a mating component in hand.

  3. 03 / We make it

    Once the scope and quote are approved, we design, machine, and finish the part.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Can you make a replacement for my car?

Can you reproduce a discontinued car part from the original?

Often, yes. An original part gives us the best starting point for dimensions and fitment. We’ll review its condition and the part’s intended use before quoting the job.

What if the original is broken or I only have a drawing?

Send what you have. A broken sample, photos, dimensions, CAD files, a scan, or a paper drawing can help us evaluate the project. We may need the car or a mating part measured before machining.

Do you make just one part?

Yes. We consider one-off replacements as well as small production runs. The price depends on design work, material, complexity, and quantity.

Can you help with parts for other makes?

Yes. Beyond Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, we review parts for BMW, Datsun, Toyota, Alfa Romeo, British sports cars, classic trucks, and air-cooled Volkswagens. Send the year, model, and photos so we can assess the application.

START A PROJECT

Need a part that
no longer exists?

Tell us about the car or motorcycle and the part. Attach photos, drawings, scans, or CAD files if you have them. We’ll follow up about feasibility and what we need to prepare a quote.
