At Coker’s we manufacture a range of products for the automotive industry. From Classic Cars, to Rally Cars, to modern day vehicles, we can provide the quality and documentation for all applications.
Classic cars parts are difficult to come by, especially ones in good condition. Coker’s are proven at taking old worn parts and developing solutions to make
exact replicas fit the 21st century. We have worked
with both commercial organisations and classic car owners clubs.
We also make specialist parts for high end manufacturers and the rally car market. Whatever your requirements we can offer full traceability and documentation as required.

Motor Industry: CASE STUDY
"Cokers have been an excellent partner in our tooling needs. They understand the challenges faced and go above and beyond to meet our specific requirements and tight deadlines. The expertise and knowledge Andy has is second to none in the toolmaking industry and we really value our relationship with Cokers”.
Dean Wealleans | Managing Director
Ley Holdings, including Ley Rubber and COH Baines.
COH Baines are a market leader in the production and supply of rubber and plastic extrusions and mouldings. An independent UK Company with more than 80 years’ experience; they stock a wide range of extrusion profiles and moulded products to supply a diverse range of industries; from Aerospace, Automotive, Construction, Electronics, and Engineering to Leisure Industries including, Caravans, Classic Cars and Marine with a variety of moulded items.
They are also the sister company of Ley Rubber Ltd, a long established and well-regarded supplier of extrusions and mouldings.
COH Baines approached Cokers in late 2018 with a tool making proposal. They had identified a number of products that would expand COH’s product offering to their customers, particularly those in the classic car market.
A number of rare OEM parts had been sourced which were no longer readily available in the marketplace. They were looking to find a UK tool maker, with the capabilities and experience to reverse engineer these parts and supply COH Baines with their own custom-made tooling which they could then mould in-house. The array of tools needed meant they needed a committed supplier that would work to their priorities and deadlines.
Tooling Design
Many of the parts supplied were deteriorated from weather conditions, notably a variety of rubber quarter-light window seals.
Interpreting and replicating the parts was the key challenge faced by our CAD design specialist. For example, a quarter-light would have multiple profiles within it, each necessary to form the exact fit to the door and window frame.
Each separate section had to be scanned and modelled and like a jigsaw puzzel, put back together again. With Andrew’s knowledge of the practicalities of rubber moulding and de-moulding, Andrew was able to use this expertise in the design process, to enable to complex parts to be made using compression moulding techniques.
From the simple to the complex, Cokers are proud to supply tool making services to COH Baines, and their sister company Ley Rubber with custom made tools.
The first stage in the design and development process. J Coker’s on-site tool room is headed up by Andrew Coker, a highly experienced tool maker.
Fabrication services covers a multitude of products, particularly those too large to be moulded. From hand-made bellows and sleeves and rubber lined pipes to cut gaskets, washers and rubber sheeting.
We manufacture our own range of rubber and silicone casting discs for centrifugal casting.
We highly recommend J Coker Ltd
Cokers really helped us out with our projects. Speaking to their design team allowed us to more closely understand the processes they use, which meant we could adjust our design to reduce tool making time and improve productivity. We have been very impressed.
We've been using Coker for two decades now and both the products and service have always been fantastic. The staff are friendly and help is always available for any technical queries you might have.
