A bracket that doesn't exist, an adapter between two parts never meant to go together, a part reinforced for tougher use: the custom part is designed for your machine and how you use it, then made with the right process.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal or plastic: the right material</h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Aluminium</strong> — light and easy to machine, for brackets, plates and lightweight structural parts.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Stainless steel</strong> — for parts exposed to moisture or marine environments.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Steel</strong> — for highly stressed parts and welded assemblies.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Engineering plastics</strong> — for trim parts, guides, bushings or prototypes.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process follows the material and quantity: machining, laser cutting and bending, or 3D printing for a prototype or small series.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Motorcycle, car and boat parts</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motorcycles: brackets, plates, covers, adaptation, restoration or tuning parts. Cars: restoration parts, adaptations, brackets and technical parts for enthusiast vehicles. Marine: fittings, brackets, deck hardware or fit-out parts, where material choice matters as much as shape.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improve, customise, invent</h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Improvement &amp; optimisation</strong> — strengthen a weak area, save weight, simplify assembly.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Customisation</strong> — a one-off part, tailored to your machine and your style, that fits as if it had always been there.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Verification</strong> — when the part carries loads, its strength is checked by calculation (see <a href=\"https://volkengineering.fr/en/plan-piece-usinage-calcul-resistance/\">drawings &amp; strength calculation</a>).</li>\n\n<li><strong>New design</strong> — from an idea or a sketch to a file ready for manufacturing, for a single part or an assembly.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a part that existed but can no longer be found, see <a href=\"https://volkengineering.fr/en/piece-introuvable-refabrication/\">unavailable spare part</a>. For an entirely new object idea, see <a href=\"https://volkengineering.fr/en/prototype-invention-conception/\">the prototype of an invention</a>. For a boat, see <a href=\"https://volkengineering.fr/en/pieces-bateau-nautisme-sur-mesure/\">marine parts</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>Do you make custom parts for individuals?</summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes: motorcycle, car, boat or workshop, requests from enthusiasts are welcome, for a one-off part or a few copies.</p>\n</details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>I only have an idea, no drawings: is that enough?</summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. A sketch, photos of where the part goes and a few dimensions are enough to start. Technical choices are then made and approved with you.</p>\n</details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Will the part be manufactured or only designed?</summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both are possible: manufacturing followed through to the finished part, or handover of the files and drawings if you prefer to have it made yourself.</p>\n</details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How long does it take?</summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lead time depends on the complexity of the part and the manufacturing process. It is stated in the proposal, before you commit to anything.</p>\n</details>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An idea, a sketch, a constraint: design and manufacture of custom parts in metal or plastic, for your motorcycle, car, boat or machine, designed to fit like original equipment.</p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":98,"parent":0,"menu_order":40,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates/prestation.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-48","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/48","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=48"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/48/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":208,"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/48/revisions/208"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/media/98"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https://volkengineering.fr/en/wp-json/wp/v2/media?parent=48"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https://api.w.org/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
