Rolling stock to racing cars
Specials that keep things moving
Transport industry fasteners carry wheels, hold track to sleepers and keep rolling stock together under constant vibration. We have made specially designed fasteners for rail infrastructure refurbishment projects and for general rolling stock maintenance.
In the automotive sector we make special headed fasteners such as wheel studs, recently including wheel studs with milled flats, and fine pitch hexagon headed parts in metric and imperial inch sizes, as well as high tensile galvanised or zinc plated products, often phosphated and chemically blackened.
Where our fasteners go
- Rolling stock refurbishment
- Rail infrastructure maintenance
- Track component manufacturers
- Vintage steam engine maintenance
- Specialist vehicle producers
- Military vehicle producers
- Automotive component manufacturers

Heritage and specialist vehicles
The part that went out of production years ago
Vintage steam engines, classic and military vehicles often need fasteners that no one has made for decades, with Whitworth or fine imperial threads. Send a sample or a photograph beside a rule and we will reverse engineer it, upgrading the material if the original was not up to the job.
- BSW, BSF, UNC and UNF threads
- Phosphate, zinc and zinc nickel finishes
- Hydrogen de-embrittlement baking after plating
- FAIR, ISIR and PPAP for production work
