Wraith and Phantom III Hydraulic Jack Testing

Over many years we have carried out repairs and overhaul of hydraulic jacks on R-R motor cars.
The jack assembly is always very tricky as the precision parts are very susceptible to corrosion and with the slightest imperfection they will always be lazy to retract or even move at all.

Increasingly we have been producing new components, we are able to offer complete new jacks.

The photo illustrates our test rig assembly to allow each new or refurbished jack or pump to be fully tested before return to the customer or to stock.

Adventures.


We are very lucky to share adventures with many customers and their cars, I never really know what wonderful photos and stories might greet me as my computer and e.mail come alive each morning. 

The following photos have been sent by a gentleman who has always been particularly pleasant to correspond and work with. 
We have been working on the shock dampers and soon to overhaul the steering box of this Derby Bentley, both vital components for this type of motoring!

I give the introduction in the gentleman's own words, such spirit is infectious!

"You are right, the car has become a "family member“. During the last decade of intensive use especially in the alps in Bavaria, Austria, Italy and Switzerland my wife and myself had a lot of fun with friends driving prewar cars (most of them British ones!).
The picture was taken on the famous Großglockner Hochalpenstraße in Austria in June, after weeks of bad weather conditions. We had the first day with the sun shining for us! But it was very cold!!!"
