VEHICLE EVALUATION & ASSESSMENT (CLASSIC, ROAD OR RACE CAR)
- Report on identity, condition and integrity of components and assemblies – evaluation of chassis structure and bodywork. Estimation of costs for recommission or restoration.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT (DESIGN & BUILD – RESTORATION - UPGRADE)
- From concept to creation – whether a one-off creation, a restoration, or a custom upgrade – projects can be managed from both an engineering and budgetary prospective.
3D CAD DESIGN & ENGINEERING
- All component design and drawing creation is done using Automotive Industry standard 3D CAD to produce both solid and surface models and assemblies.
RE-ENGINEERING & RE-PRODUCTION OF OBSOLETE COMPONENTS
- Obsolete, damaged or unobtainable components can be scanned, measured and modelled in 3D CAD and remanufactured to original or improved standards
SUSPENSION DESIGN & ANALYSIS
- Existing suspension assemblies can be measured, modelled and analysed using a bespoke suspension analysis software package.
- Camber angle, Castor, KPI, Roll centre height and lateral movement, Camber gain, Spring and Damper travel and rate, Anti dive & Anti Squat geometries can be evaluated.
- New or upgraded suspension geometry can be formulated and analysed and components designed and manufactured.
PROTOTYPE & SMALL BATCH MANUFACTURE & ASSEMBLY
- Any prototype parts or assemblies can be CAD modelled, 3D printed, machined, fabricated, moulded, assembled and tested.
PATTERN, MOULD & COMPONENT MANUFACTURE
- New body or component pattern files can be produced from CAD surface models – or existing components can be scanned to create CAD surface files. Patterns can then be CNC machined for moulds to be produced from or direct moulds can be machined.
ROAD & TRACK SET-UP
- Vehicles can be ‘set up’ for road or track use.
- Spring rates checked, Dampers dyno checked, Ride heights set, Toe-in, Camber and Castor adjusted.
- Corner weights and cross weight checked and adjusted.
- Anti-roll bar and suspension linkages adjusted to give optimum low stiction performance.
PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING UPGRADES
- Aftermarket upgrade kits can be fitted.
- Bespoke upgrades can be defined and sourced.
RACE PREPARATION
- Modern, Classic or Historic race cars can be prepared and repaired.
Experts in manufacturing one-off vehicles, we are happy to undertake movie vehicles, TV vehicles, and advertising campaign specials. We work closely with the DVSA and the DVLA to make these vehicles road-legal if required.
