Before you enquire

Your replacement part questions, answered.

Find out what to send, how we assess your part and what is agreed before work begins. For a closer look at the process, see part development.

What kinds of parts do you develop?

We assess small, non-critical plastic replacement components for cars and motorcycles, such as interior tabs, clips, knobs and covers. Suitable low-load mounts, brackets and workshop aids may also be considered. These are examples of requests, not a stock catalogue. Every application is reviewed individually.

Can you help with a discontinued or missing part?

Possibly. A broken or intact original gives us useful information about dimensions and fixings. If it is missing, send photos of the fitted location and any reliable references you have. We may need further measurements or an original example before we can confirm feasibility. Photographs alone may not provide enough information.

What photos and vehicle details should I send?

Include the make, model, year and trim or variant if known. Useful photos show the whole part, damage, fixings and where it fits. A ruler can help show scale. Tell us what the part does, how many you need and whether it is exposed to heat, weather, chemicals or load. You do not need a technical drawing to start.

Should I post the original part to you?

Please send an enquiry first and wait for instructions. We may ask to inspect or measure the original, but do not post a component until the next steps have been agreed. Tell us if it is fragile, incomplete or the only example you have.

Can you reproduce any broken automotive part?

No. Suitability depends on function, material, temperature, load and the consequences of failure. We may decline safety-critical, structural, braking, steering, high-temperature or otherwise unsuitable applications. A similar appearance does not establish that a replacement is suitable.

How do you assess vehicle compatibility?

We review your vehicle details, fitted position, the original part or available measurements, and relevant variant differences. Fit checks and prototype requirements are agreed for the project. Compatibility is not assumed from a vehicle model name or a photograph alone.

How are the parts made, and which materials do you use?

Our current process is 3D printing using PLA or PETG, selected according to the application. PLA may be used for prototypes and suitable low-temperature uses. PETG is not suitable for every automotive environment either. We explain the proposed material, finish, limitations and checks before you order.

Can PLA or PETG be used anywhere in a vehicle?

No. Heat, sunlight, chemicals and mechanical loads affect suitability. Even an interior location needs assessment. Material selection must consider the actual application and the consequences of failure; neither PLA nor PETG is a universal replacement for automotive plastics.

What is the standard colour?

Black is our standard finish for automotive parts. Other colours may be available on request when the chosen material and application allow it. Colour and finish are discussed as part of the proposed work.

Are the parts made in the UK?

Yes. Development and small-batch production take place in the UK. Parts are made to order, inspected and prepared before dispatch.

Does an enquiry commit me to an order?

No. We first review the information you provide. If the project appears viable, we explain the proposed work, estimated timescale and any development or prototype costs. You decide whether to proceed before work begins.

What affects the cost of a made-to-order part?

The condition of the original, design complexity, measurements, material, prototypes and quantity all affect the work involved. A one-off part may need development before it can be made. We explain the proposed work and costs before you decide whether to proceed.

How long does custom development take?

It varies with complexity, access to the original component and the prototypes or fit checks required. After reviewing your information, we provide an estimated timescale. There is no single lead time for every custom part.

Can workshops and restorers request repeat parts?

Yes. Include the quantity you need, whether this is a one-off or repeat requirement, and any vehicle or part variations. Each project is assessed before development or supply is agreed.

How do I request a part assessment?

Use our contact form to send your vehicle details, description and up to four photos, or email contact@brukshop.com. Tell us what is broken or missing and whether you have the original. We will ask for any further information needed to assess the next step.

Have a part in mind?

Start with photos and what you know about the vehicle. An enquiry is not an order.
