BESPOKE ENGINEERING

Helix Autosport has the ability to manufacture a massive range of products with flexibility and diversity. As a result of this ‘can-do’ attitude we are approached daily by teams and manufacturers asking us to develop products for them.

BESPOKE FLYWHEELS / FLYWHEEL MODIFICATION

Helix Autosport has the ability to carry out flywheel lightening, dynamic balancing and clutch conversions on customer’s flywheels. We can also manufacture new replacement to customer’s exact specifications.

CLUTCH COVER ASSEMBLIES / PRESSURE PLATES

For historic cars Helix Autosport has developed a range of modern clutch kits, including bearings, to replace the old coil spring components. Occasionally this requires re-drilling and doweling flywheels.

DRIVE PLATES

Helix Autosport manufactures all of our driven plates in-house and as a result, we are able to offer plates manufactured to order usually within a couple of days. You can specify:

  • Driven plate Thickness
  • Gearbox Spline
  • Friction type material
  • Plate diameter
  • Sprung or Ridged centre

We are able to manufacture over 40 of the most popular splines, for example: 1” x 23 Teeth and 7/8” x 20 Teeth – see our Racing Catalogue for a list of splines which we carry. If you have a bespoke spline we can still help as we can use a local spark erosion service to copy your spline.

CUSTOM RELEASE BEARINGS

Helix Autosport supplies both hydraulic and mechanical bearings. There are many reasons for manufacturing bespoke bearings:

  • Remove Historic Carbon thrust bearings and upgrading to modern ball type
  • Modifying the diameter & face of the bearing to be used with a multi-plate racing clutch
  • Match an unusual engine and gearbox combination
  • To change the engagement, point of the clutch
  • Supply a bearing which is no longer available

BESPOKE MANUFACTURING

After numerous years of manufacturing clutch components, Helix have obtained the qualifications and knowledge to expand our manufacturing range using the best possible materials on offer, including Carbon and Kevlar.

Extensive research has been undertaken and we’re excited to talk about the bespoke manufacturing services Helix can offer.

This range of parts includes gears, first motion shafts, top mounts, wheel spacers and other miscellaneous parts for the automotive industry.

Helix now contributes to vehicle manufacturers production with Helix parts fitted from factory.
