Elfin still makes sports cars as far as I know?
Wasm't there some other really small niche car manufacturer? |

Its good we seems to adding ones till here rather than more that have got though I suspect there are many more of the latter. I think Hardie Ferodo is no longer making brake pas here either. Champion (Federal-Mogul Corporation) were also one of the many making spark plugs in Australia at one time too until they went deliberately bankrupt saving that asbestos brake pad company from litigation settlements.

I think in addition to Bridgestone, Goodyear, Dunlop, Olympic and even Ian Diffen (so perhaps Bob Jane too when they were friendly competitors) also made tyres in Australia at one time. Anyone still making alloy wheels here and which companies used to? ROH only design and test here now per https://roh.com.au/about-roh-alloy-wheels/

Not tools as such, but Faber make tool boxes. You’ll pay big time for them though.
And I think the bloke, or one of them who started Faber may be doing it himself north of Perth under Red Dirt and Diesel tool boxes, at a fraction of the price. Waiting list is around 4 months, but worth it. Nice boxes. |
