Lumley Engineering - CNC Milling, Machining Prototypes to Volume Production for Mount Cowdown
Thank you to all the lovely people who are keeping us so busy with one-offs and custom components for their sidecar outfits. With many exciting and interesting projects under way, every day sees something new. Since launching our Hub Centric steering system last year, we have been refining details to improve this modification. Leading link front forks also continue to be an in-demand item for all sorts of bikes attached to all sorts of sidecars from sports tourers to hearses.
There's always room for one more on top though, so if you are looking for ways to give your outfit more stability, more precise steering and better handling, let us take a look. Because of the bespoke nature of the work, we can only quote for conversions on bikes that we have seen 'in the metal', so can't provide a general purpose kit. What you will get when you visit our workshop is an honest appraisal of what can be done, along with a realistic quote and timescale. Drop us a line, or call to get booked in.

Silver cross pram wheels re chromed and hubs rebuilt
Restorations are not just about motorised vehicles. Some historic engineering has to be pushed, but it still has to be just right when looking for the most authentic appearance. One example, is the vintage Silver Cross pram that these wheels came off. It was being lovingly restored by its owner, who entrusted the wheels to us for re-chroming of the rims and rebuilding the hubs, bearings and spokes.
The gleaming result looks as good as new and we are sure that the owner will be pushing it with pride. Perhaps we will have to wait a few years for the occupant to show the same appreciation, but it is a safe bet that when it comes to the time for them to have offspring of their own, this pram will still be in fine working order.
For specialist markets such as motorsport and vehicle restoration, we have the facilities and expertise to make one-off and replica components. Even if you are not local, many parts can be made as one-off items or short-run production components from your drawings, patterns or templates emailed or posted to us from the Mount Cowdown area.
