Made in Britain – Challenge Dr Bob!

As a company we are always being bombarded with requests for new products and whilst we are always up for a challenge, some turn out to be even too wacky for us! However, one request that came across my desk recently was a tool to make working on suspension quicker and easier. We were pleased to work with a local manufacturer – Conveyer Engineering and local garage owner Paul from Trust Automotive to develop the tool and after several prototypes and test sessions we have now got a successful tool – the McPherson Strut Lifter on the market. If you have any ideas for a new tool or have any problems that may require a new tool being developed – then get in touch. We would love to hear from you!

Mechanex Exeter – Doctor in the house!

Dr Bob was down at the Mechanex show in Exeter this week and was pleased to see how busy the place seemed. As usual there were lots of questions about new product ideas like the new style brake cap for some newer Ford models …....watch this space!

We were also working with our friends at LUK who were showing our new tool for second generation wheel bearings as fitted to the following vehicles: Audi A2, Seat Ibiza IV & Cordoba, Skoda Fabia, VW Polo models & Fox. By the end of the show their guys were racing each other to see who could complete the job in the fastest time! Looks like this could be a winner!

Note from Editor:

Dr Bob was expecting a tough time in Exeter and this was evident by his ‘tough’ haircut he had before the show and after a gruelling day, it came to a point where he let down what little hair he had left and let’s just say the bars in Exeter will never be the same again……….
