Ray Palmer sets up Molray in partnership with 50cc racer Maurice Thomas, who attends to repair and building of spoked wheels.

Molray installs its first Motorliner - insisted on by insurance companies. Develops methods for repairing cast wheels which are now being fitted as OE to many models.

Partnership with Thomas dissolves. Palmer sets up Maidstone Motoliner next door in Dover Street, Maidstone.

Moves to current premisis in Aylesford.

Palmer joined by son Tommy.

Acquires second Motoliner jig to cater for classic bikes.
