Automotive engraving categories
What Phil engraves for riders and builders
Custom motorcycle and automotive parts
Fully customised engraving on components you already own, from covers and brackets to trim and fabricated pieces. Designs are drawn for your part rather than pulled from a catalogue.
Harley derby and timing covers
Derby covers and timing covers engraved to your own design, with engraving depth and finishing options assessed for the specific component.
Reflector inserts
Reflector inserts can also be discussed as part of a custom engraving enquiry. Suitability and finishing are assessed for the individual item.
Other vehicle and motorcycle components
Indian, BMW and other motorcycle makes are all welcome, along with hot rod, street machine and general automotive components. Suitability is assessed on the actual part.
Derby covers, timing covers and reflector inserts are covered in detail on the Harley derby cover engraving page. Contact Phil to discuss the components you would like engraved and whether they are suitable for the project. Forever Milestones is an independent workshop and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Harley-Davidson, Indian or BMW.

Working with Phil from any state or territory
For Harley-Davidson projects, Phil can generally supply a new, genuine component as part of the agreed project, which can save an interstate customer posting an existing part. Customers may also send their own suitable component. Discuss the project with Phil before anything is purchased, delivered or posted.
- 1
Discuss the project with Phil
Tell Phil what you would like engraved, the component involved and any deadline that needs to be considered. Artwork, logos, photographs or a rough idea are all fine starting points.
- 2
Confirm the component, quote and payment
For Harley-Davidson projects Phil can generally supply a new, genuine component, or you may provide your own. Car and other automotive parts are generally customer supplied and assessed individually. Payment is required before artwork, setup and design work begins.
- 3
Artwork and customer proof
Phil prepares the artwork and supplies a proof before engraving begins. Any requested alterations are assessed individually.
- 4
Engraving, finishing and quality checking
Once the proof is approved, Phil engraves, finishes and quality checks the component himself.
- 5
Collection or delivery
Collect the finished component from Jamisontown by arrangement, including an after-hours appointment where available, or arrange delivery of the completed item.
Australia-Wide Automotive Engraving
Guidance for customers working with Phil from their own state. All engraving is carried out at the Jamisontown workshop in New South Wales.
The person doing the work
By a Rider, For Riders
Phil Taylor is a rider, builder, fabricator and designer. He knows what a component does before he cuts into it, and he decides depth, placement and finish with the part in his hands.
Before Forever Milestones, Phil spent 32 years in military service as a helicopter mechanic. That background shapes the standard of the work rather than the length of time he has been engraving. He is personally involved in every project.
