Valve Guides
Keith Hippey makes our valve guides; he is also our workshop machinist.
Keith is an Apprentice trained Precision Engineer.

We have been making valve guides since 1990, for our own use and supplying the trade.
We use a manganese silicon bronze material which is made especially for us. The specs of the material are;
CEN CW713R /British CZ135 /USA SAE CA67410/Germany CuZn40A12 2.0550. This material is specifically suited to valve guides.This is not the common, off-the-shelf CZ114 which is NOT suited to valve guides.
Each guide is hand checked for size and runout.
We usually have the following guides in stock:


We can manufacture guides to your requirements. Please contact us for further details.
