How it works

  1. Send or bring the part to 28 Shaft Road, Knights, Germiston, or email clear photos with a tape measure in shot to orders@mse.engineer first.
  2. Tell us about it: the pump or machine make, model and size; where the part sits; the material if you know it, or "match the original" or "please advise"; the quantity; the date you need it.
  3. We reply with a quote, or with the questions we need answered first.
  4. We make the part to the sample and inspect it before delivery.

What helps when there is no drawing

  • The mating part, if the fit matters, or its size.
  • Any marks on the old part: a part number or a material code.
  • Whether a repair to the old part would do instead.

Questions buyers ask

Can someone make a pump part without a drawing in South Africa?

Can you reverse engineer a pump shaft from the old one?
