Scrapyards have none left, used parts are worn or overpriced, and the part holds up the whole restoration. The solution: remake it from what remains.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parts that can be remade</h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brackets, mounting tabs and plates.</li>\n\n<li>Bushings, spacers, shafts and turned parts.</li>\n\n<li>Covers, housings and trim parts.</li>\n\n<li>Plastic parts that have become brittle over time.</li>\n\n<li>Small mechanism, control or body parts.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feasibility depends on the part, its function and the loads it carries: it is checked from the first discussion, based on photos.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">True to the original, or better</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The part can be reproduced identically for a faithful restoration, or corrected for its known flaws: a more durable material, a reinforced area, simpler fitting. Every change is proposed and explained to you.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Youngtimers and motorcycles from the 80s to 2000s</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vehicles from the 80s to 2000s are becoming youngtimers, and their parts are disappearing from catalogues. Volk Engineering designs, for example, parts for the Honda NX650 Dominator, available in the <a href=\"https://volkengineering.fr/en/boutique/\">shop</a>. For a part that isn't there, the approach is that of <a href=\"https://volkengineering.fr/en/piece-introuvable-refabrication/\">unavailable part remanufacturing</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions</h2>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Where can I find a part for a classic car when it no longer exists?</summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clubs, specialist scrapyards and second-hand sites are the first leads. When the part stays unavailable or too expensive, remanufacturing it to measure becomes the safest solution.</p>\n</details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>My original part is broken: can it still be remade?</summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, in most cases. The pieces, neighbouring parts and fitting dimensions often allow the geometry to be reconstructed.</p>\n</details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can I have several copies made?</summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Once the part is redrawn, several can be made, for example for a club or to keep a spare.</p>\n</details>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A part no longer made for your classic car, youngtimer or vintage motorcycle: it is surveyed, redrawn and remanufactured, identical or improved, to get your vehicle back on the road.</p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":60,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates/prestation.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-201","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/types/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/users/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/comments?post=201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/201/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/media?parent=201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https://api.w.org/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
