When we were given the chance to become involved in the recreation of the famous Manx Norton motorcycle we jumped at it. Working closely with project leader Patrick Walker, we provided solutions to some of the most complex issues arising in such a high quality project.

One of the most exciting challenges was to create the cylinder barrels, where each piece of material is an aluminium billet measuring 10” diameter by 7” long. We made unique bespoke tooling to produce the most complex part, the cooling fins. As they are deep and narrow and required a good surface finish, we had to work to some extremely tight tolerances. Despite the issues that arose we managed to find solutions and the final cylinder barrels ended up as major features on the bikes.

We continue to be a favoured supplier of precision machined parts to Works Racing Motor Cycles.
