Default Kit Car Services - turning and more....

Hi,

A few of you may know me from Locostbuilders, but thought I would introduce myself here too. After building my own kit car I realised how easy it would make some jobs if everyone had access to machinery, specifically turning. So I thought I would offer this service (and others) to fellow builders.

My website is http://kitcarservices.co.uk which outlines most of what I can offer, but if you are after help with something which isn't listed, get in touch and I can probably help out.

These services basically include:

Turning (up to 19" diameter) - this could be anything from suspension spacers to custom hubs (some examples below).
Electrical and electronics work
Donor part reconditioning (including type 9 gearbox rebuilds at competitive prices)
Throttle body respacing (including fuel rails)
CAD work
Laser cutting of custom and 1 off parts

and all sorts of other things.

Prices will be given on a job by job basis.

Some examples of turning (there are pics on my website of some of my work):

* Blanking plugs for throttle bodies
* Bushes made to your requirements (aluminium, brass, nylon, bronze etc)
* Spacers (for suspension, rose joints etc)
* Propshaft spacers - made to your requirements. Properly bossed and recessed to ensure concentricty
* Hubcentric wheel spacers made to your specification
* Camber adjusters to your sizes (for front or rear custom wishbones)
* Threaded tubes for wishbones - with your choice of thread including M18x1.5 for transit track rods)
* Custom aluminium gearknobs
* Indicator stalks
* Custom made aluminium fuel rails, aluminium extrusion, drilled to your requirements for injectors, end tapped 3/8BSPT, ready to fit brackets
* Sierra upright tapered adaptors eccentric or concentric, your choice
* Concentric clutch cylinder spacers to your requirements drilled to suit your application
* Custom alternator pulleys single vee and poly vee
* Custom water pump pulleys as above
* Trigger wheel fitting pinto and crossflow including trigger wheel – laser cut trigger wheels and pulley modified to fit your application. Trigger wheel fitted on turned disc to ensure concentricity
* One off hose joiners
* Custom hubs
* Thread cutting available, both metric and imperial

and much more.

I have also designed and can supply a duratec sump kit in steel for £75 or aluminium for £100. These are a properly baffled unit designed for RWD use and will increase ground clearance by 28mm over the std sump.

I've not personally used the services, but the reputation that precedes you from LB is one to be proud of
