Porsche 356 (1948-1965) - NLA & hard-to-find parts, remade to order
On a 356, the details decide whether a restoration reads as right: knobs, escutcheons, small castings and rubber parts that have been out of production for well over half a century. Reproductions exist for some items, but plenty of small components still circulate only as worn originals. We reproduce them faithfully from your sample - measuring, rebuilding in CAD and manufacturing in materials appropriate to the part, from resin and nylon to CNC-machined or cast metal for hardware.
Common problem areas we reproduce
- •Interior knobs, escutcheons and small decorative hardware
- •Rubber seals, grommets and bump stops long past their life
- •Small metal castings and brackets no longer reproduced
- •Lamp, horn and switch small components
- •Fasteners and clips specific to early bodies

Concours judges look closely - how faithful is the reproduction?
We reproduce the geometry from your original and match finish as closely as the process allows. Where the original had a casting texture or specific sheen, we discuss the finishing route with you before production.
Can you work from a broken or incomplete part?
Yes - fractures, missing tabs and warped areas are normal. We reconstruct geometry from the remaining features, the mating part and symmetry.
Is there a minimum order?
No. One-offs are welcome; small batches simply cost less per unit.
How do I start?
Send photos, rough dimensions and the vehicle details through the contact form; we usually respond within 24-48 hours.
Your project stays yours.
Every part we reverse-engineer and produce is confidential and exclusive to the client. We do not resell, share or reproduce a client's parts for anyone else unless the client explicitly authorises it. NDAs available on request.
