Jigs and Fixtures

We've developed an accurate set of specialized jigs and fixtures to aid in MGA sheetmetal restorations. Each of these has been built from heavy-wall tubing and is accurate to 1/32" (most factory tolerances were about 1/4").

We have several rotisseries that are used to transport bodies to our sandblaster and painters.

New tube tack welded

These rotisseries maintain the shape and strength of the body, allow for easy loading and carraige, and rotate 360 degree for full access to all parts of the car.

Our most complex fixture is our MGA body jig. It establishes more than 70 important dimensions of the MGA main body shell.

MGA Jig

Using this jig, we can more accurately and quickly repair rust and collision damage to MGAs.

Body on Jig

Bodies are built up from bare minimum to complete with fenders, doors, bonnet, and boot before being returned to the frame for final fit-up.

We have other fixtures for chassis and front frame extension repair that are shown in those pages on the website.
