  • New Forged Stub Axles For The Lagonda Rapier

New Forged Stub Axles For The Lagonda Rapier

The Lagonda Rapier was a car produced by the British Lagonda Company that saw a short production run between 1934 and 1935 and again by the Rapier Car Company up until 1938. It is believed that only 376 were produced with only 69 surviving today.

We were approached by our client who specialises specifically in the Lagonda Rapier models. to produce new drop-forged stub axles. Existing original stub axles were always found to be in very poor condition, showing stress cracks and some ultimately failing during use. By applying more modern manufacturing processes, such as grain flow simulation, WHT was able to produce a far superior forged replacement.

Relatively small batches of 10 - 20 pieces were produced, and as low-volume runs are a speciality of W.H.Tildesley we were happy to accommodate.

Our client who has invested in 2 sets of forging dies, for left-hand and right-hand variants, has exclusive use.
