Machining fabricating services

[Tim Green 1Participant @timgreen1]

Hi all,

I have recently lost through retirement the services of an excellent engineer who for many years has manufactured and repaired all types of impossible to get metal components for my vintage car.

I am just trying to find someone who undertakes such work, hopefully in the Newbury area. Nothing very heavy, usually small items. Currently wishing to get some stand off brackets made for two sets of round bar seat runners.

If you think you can help, or know of someone who might be able to, please do let me know.

Many thanks,

Tim Green

try your local classic car clubs or motorcycle clubs or the friendly local classic car mot tester

Or try your local model engineering society, there are a couple in your area.

Try Ian at Oxfordshire Sevens (www.oxfordshiresevens.co.uk or 07743 263791), just outside Bicester. He manufactures a wide range of panels and brackets for Austin Sevens and has wide experience making "things" for other cars as well. He makes one-off parts.

He is very busy at the moment in the lead up to the Austin Seven Centenary event at the end of July, so might be hard to reach for a while.

Regards,

JAmes.

I believe The Fairclose Centre in Newbury has a Mens Shed. Not sure what facilities they have but might be worth a closer look.
