SHIFT STUBBORN FIXINGS
Oct 10th
Designed specifically for stubborn and high torque crankshaft pulley fixings, Laser Tools has just introduced a set of three counter-weighted 1/2in drive sockets (part number 8953).
These are engineered for removing extremely tight fixings – the added weight reduces impact loss, allowing more effective torque delivery from impact guns. The high strength and mass make the socket very rigid; less torque from the impact gun is wasted in socket distortion, this torque going straight to the fastener.
Suitable for a range of vehicles and ideal for high-torque applications, particularly high-torque crankshaft pulley fixings. The three sizes included are 17mm, 19mm, and 21mm More >

THE ROCKER!
Oct 10th
Mini Spares has just introduced a pair of original style ‘tin’ (actually pressed steel) rocker covers to renovate any A series or A+ engine without the work and expense of repairing and repainting the existing rocker cover.
The Mini Spares rocker covers are available in two versions: either the green that is generally associated with BMC and British Leyland engines and comes with a smart chrome oil filler cap. Or there is a semi-gloss black version that has a matching black filler cap.
Both rocker covers retail at £27 each inc VAT, which is likely to be cheaper than the cost of repairing More >

OILY BUSINESS!
Oct 10th
High-performance and racing GM LS engines must have the factory-installed Active Fuel Management (AFM) and/or Variable Valve Timing (VVT) systems deleted to maximise power.
However, when these systems are removed, excess oil is pumped through the engine, resulting in over-pressuring and possible damage to engine components.
The Summit Racing™ Oil Pan Pressure Relief Valve Plug for GM LS fixes this by plugging the secondary pressure relief valve built into the oil pan.
The Allen-head style aluminium plug features M14 x 1.5 threads and a black anodised finish. An aluminium crush washer ensures a proper seal.

OOOH, I SAY!
Oct 3rd
Big fan of Welsh manufacturer, MST Cars, who have just added a third model to their range which already features Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escort-inspired cars available in kit and fully built form.
They’ve recently unveiled their take on the Escort Mk2 RS2000, called the MST EVO-X, with the ‘X’ referring to Ford Motorsport’s Widebody X-Pack option available for the RS2000, in period.
Just like MST’s other models, the EVO-X looks exquisite., particularly with that ‘droopsnoot’ front end.
Two normally-aspirated four-cylinder engines are available with the Duratec 2.5-litre standard complete with 275bhp. The range-topper is a Millington Diamond engine, which delivers 350bhp.
