Here’s some M10 (x1.25) titanium engine mounting studs. Wherever possible it is usually a lot more economical to make engine mountings as studs rather than bolts with integral head. Thats because they are usually very long and turning 20mm dia bar down to a good tollerance and finish over that length is very hard and time consuming. But to put […]

Here’s titanium a front wheel spindle for a Montessa, going to H&D racing as usual. This one has the fat end extended to take up the place where the speedo drive usually lives, its a mod i do regularly as the trials lads don’t normally run a speedo.

The HRC retainers are stepped inside so i had to get a stepped cutter ground up to the right angles, even so cutting […]

Here’s a set of titanium suspension bolts for a Montessa trials bike. They are off to Mark at H&D Racing for a customer of his.
