    i don't know if anyone knows of these folks. got it from another group. might pay to check them out. england is not that far away and they do lots of small runs for car buffs in the states.....

    quote:

    We can produce smallish castings to replace any chromework,

    thermostat housings, aluminium pulleys, handles, switches etc.

    Our production methods mean that we can set up tooling for batches of

    25-50 at a reasonable price.

    We are based in Devon, England and have been making classic car parts

    for over 20 years now.

    I work at the company and cast most of what we sell. There is no

    middle-man.

    The new owner, Mark Cartwright, can be contacted at:



    info@ashwater-classics.co.uk



    If you think we can be of any help please contact

    us.

    Two thoughts:



    A number of Hudson enthusiasts are already reproducing parts on a small scale, including castings, so one might want to check the reproduction list before deciding to cast the parts himself: http://mysite.verizon.net/detailed1/Repro%20Table.htm



    Secondly, if one wanted to pursue the reproduction of parts by English companies, he might want first to contact our brethren in the Railton Owners Club, which has been arranging for the reproduction of Railton 'spares' in England for many years. (For the uninitiated, Railton was a British car that was built on the Terraplane chassis during the 1930's.) The Railton folks would have a good idea of which shops would be the best to work with, I'd guess. Anyone wanting to pursue this path, could go to the following Railton webpage and contact the gentleman in charge of 'spares' there, for his thoughts on finding a reputable place.

    It would be nice if someone reproduced the "Twin H Power" trunk nameplate for stepdowns.
