Bamford was a British manufacture of small industrial and farm engines, among other things, dating back to the 1870s. I am not sure if they are still around, but believe they may be but trading under a different name. A customer who has used our services before sent a scan of a head gasket for [...]

Bamford model Z4 Diesel engine
December 1, 20101943 BMW R-75
April 25, 2010I imagine that this customer came to me because BMW understandably no longer carries spare parts for this model. He sent me ID and OD figures for a copper crush washer to be used on the exhaust and after seeing the quotation placed an order for four of them. I will insert an image of [...]

Air Compressor Gaskets
December 20, 2009I always like it when customers send me images of the machines our gaskets will be used with. This customer sent me a nice ad for a 1920s air compressor. Turns out the company is still in business all these years later. The customer needed a set of gaskets, and specified a material .003 in. [...]
