First post!

Testing, testing!

Hi, this is the first post for the Titan Classics shop.
The purpose of the shop is to sell longerlasting, corrosion free and lighter car parts for classics cars and bikes.

It all started from seeing my classic Mini and rare Suzuki VJ23 motorbike being corroded by the elements. I'd fit brand new steel parts only to see them rust within months.

On this blog I'll show my thoughts and developments of the parts I'll have produced. How I replicate the part in the computer. The materials used for the product and hopefully get peoples opinions if a product will sell so I don't take an expensive risk on something and not sell the item.

I've recently realised that a lot of the UNC and UNF fasteners I'm producing specifically for the Mini also fit other classics cars in America as well as Blighty. e.g. A Mini clutch pushrod fits an Austin Healey if it's been upgraded with a Jaguar clutch. I'd like to know a lot more about these quirky bits of info so maybe with this blog people can chip in with thier classic car knowledge.

I may be able to discuss some of the Classic cars at Jaguar where I work. I'll have to check that out with my boss' though.

Cheers for now,

Rich
