Custom Fabrication

We perform all kinds of fabrication on site, including suspension, monocoque, exhaust and composite patterns. This gives us complete control over the progress of your job – no waiting for subcontractors to get motivated.

Custom suspension fabrication
Below is an example of suspension fabrication on a customer’s Van Dieman F-Ford. The new geometry, upper arms and anti-roll bar location all work together to provide the positive control that this car lacked from the factory.

Custom headers and exhaust fabrication
This is an example of a merge collector exhaust designed and built at Small Fortune. Designed for the Kawasaki ZX12 engine mounted in our F1 Solo/Hillclimb chassis, it incorporates a spiral flow silencer that is extremely efficient, quiet and compact.

Chassis fabrication
We repair all kinds of chassis including brazed tube, welded tube and aluminum monocoque. Our monocoque repairs are performed following aerospace procedures and using appropriate fasteners and materials to the very high loads of racing.

Specialty part fabrication
We perform our own machining at SFRE. Below is an internal view of our 2-stage dry sump pump built for the Suzuki GSXR 1000 engine. Not relying on outside vendors for short run parts allows us to be extremely responsive to your needs.
