They make/made diff housings for Jags and Aston Martins and years ago they made the special wheels required for the Winfield GTR’s when they had to run 1500kg weight in Group A.

Also made bell housings for other Nissan cars OS and other manufactures

Geez, more job losses in Melbourne, this is not good. Everywhere you turn industry is laying off and especially in the car industry.
The unemployment queue’s are growing by the day.
