Custom hardware

Can't find the part? We'll design it.

We also design bespoke hardware. When the catalogue doesn't cover it, our engineers work up the design and have it built by reputable COP and LOP manufacturers — so you still get a part that fits.

Why bespoke

Made for the jobs standard parts can't do.

Every car is different — and sometimes the off-the-shelf answer doesn't fit the fixture, the controller or the brief. When that happens, we design the part and have it manufactured by established COP and LOP partners, so a one-off requirement still arrives as a finished, fitted solution.

Whether it's a special faceplate, a bracket to suit an awkward retrofit, bespoke graphics or a signal interface that bridges old and new equipment, we treat custom work as core business, not an exception.

What to send us.

You don't need finished drawings to start a conversation. Anything that tells us what the part needs to do is enough — we'll take it from there.

A drawing or CAD
Dimensions, cut-outs, stud patterns.

A physical sample
We'll measure and match it.
C
The old or failed unit
Ideal for like-for-like replacement.
