Our Services

---

We carry out servicing, rebuilding or restorations of Prewar vintage and Postwar classic vehicle components from switchgear, through to wiper motors, from carburetters to Smiths tank senders, the fiddlier and the older the better! 

We can also arrange a removal and refitting service for larger components such as carburetters using Clouds Hill Classics, a classic vehicle business also in Brixworth. See the link at the top of the page.

• All carburetters are stripped and assessed. 
• They are then cleaned using a sonicating water bath
• If required, bodies are bead-blasted and thoroughly cleaned, again by sonication. 
• If a concours or "as new" finish is required, all metal plated parts can be replated and the castings vapour honed by local professionals. Alternatively, a bare metal finish with some protection from the elements can be recreated which we call our "War Finish".
• All new seals and gaskets are used, along with new needle jets, all sourced from the original manufacturers of the instrument where possible.
• We will also attempt to source any missing parts, though we obviously cannot guarantee success in this with rare carburetters!
• Where new throttle spindles are needed and available, carburetter bodies are drilled to suit new spindle bushes, new bushes are fitted and carefully reamed to ensure a smooth operation of the new spindle and butterfly.
• Communication is our key focus so we will keep you abreast of how the process is proceeding and highlight any issues as we go along.
• If required we can also document the whole process by photographing each stage of the process.

As well as restoring customers' own carburetters, Fuggle's Fettling can offer completely refurbished carburetters either on an exchange basis or for outright sale. Among our selection are the following:

• Solex 32PBI-2 as fitted to Series 1 Land Rovers, with a selection of dates
• Solex B40PAIO, either -5, -5A or -6 as fitted to Series 2 and 2A Land Rovers
• Zenith 36IV as fitted to Series 3 Land Rovers
• Stromberg CD175 as fitted to TR5, TR6 and V8 Land Rovers
• SU HIF44
• SU H2, H4, H6, HS2, HS4 and HS6

These are all supplied tested and ready to use.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have a project that you think we can deal with (or one that think that we can't for that matter!), we can have a look at it for you and see if it is something that we can tackle!

Having learned CAD design and purchased an FDM 3D Printer, we can now offer a number of 3D printed products such as Land Rover main bearing T-Seal guides and gearbox drilling jigs as well as offering a service for designing and 3D printing missing parts for customers.

We don't currently add a great deal to the prices of parts that we use, we simply pass the cost to us on to you (including any discounts we receive!). Alternatively, if you have a cheaper source of quality parts and want to supply them to us for fitting that is fine too. We will also attempt to source rare, obsolete or second hand parts for you but will keep you informed throughout so that there are no surprises once the invoice arrives!
