Specialist Engineering & Technical Support

Modernizing Soviet Armor for UK Road Legality. We specialize in braking systems, drivetrian reliability and custom parts fabrication.

Roadworthy Maintenance Guidance

Ensuring your historic vehicle remains fit for the public highway. We provide technical insights into maintaining the mechanical integrity of the BRDM-2, focusing on common fail-points like steering linkage and braking efficiency.

Under UK law, the keeper of a historic vehicle is responsible for ensuring it is in a 'roadworthy condition' at all times. Our services provide technical support and modernised components to assist in this maintenance, but they do not constitute a statutory inspection or a guarantee of legal compliance.

Roadworthy Condition, Mechancial Fitness, Periodic Safety Inspection. 

TPU Component Fabrication (Seals & Gaskets)

Obsolete rubber seals and gaskets often degrade, leading to fluid loss and mechanical fatigue. We produce modernized TPU (Polyurethane) components designed for longevity and better fluid retention than originalnsurplus stock.

All 3D-printed components are supplied as experimental heritage parts' for display and private-use vehicles. The end-user is responsible for validating the fitment and suitability for their specific vehicle.

Serviceability Kits

FLIR Thermal Diagnostic Mapping

Thermal System Assessment. We use FLIR imaging to monitor friction temperatures in drum brakes and hub assemblies. This non-invasive check helps identify dragging components or overheating bearings before they lead to mechanical failure.

The Testbed: Lola the BRDM-2

Why Our Technical Insights Matters:

Real World Testing:

Every 3D printed TPU part and reliability kit we develop is installed and stress tested on our own BRDM-2 before it ever reaches a customer.

Obsolescence Management:

We specialise in filling in the gaps where original factory parts no longer exist, using modern materials like oil resistant polymers to outperform 40 year oldSoviet rubber.

Specialist Knowledge:

From full drivetrain overhauls to bespoke cooling modifications, our expertise is built on a decade and a half of "knuckle-busting" work on GAZ BRDM and BTR platforms.

Engineering Solutions Through Experience

Behind every part we manufacture is over 15 years of hands  on experience maintaining and modernizing Soviet era armour. Our flagship vehicle, Lola, isn't just a restoration project-she is our primary R&D platform.

"We don't just sell parts; we engineer solutions for problems we've solved in the field."
