NEW OLD FORD STUFF FROM BURTON POWER
Apr 22nd
Burton Power is now offering a manifold to allow a single DCOE or DHLA carburettor to be fitted to almost any engine that uses the DGV or DGAS carburettors.
The adaptor manifold is suitable for use on the Ford Essex V6, SOHC Pinto and Kent Crossflow GT engines. The manifold converts the carb orientation from down-draught to side-draught to avoid any bonnet clearance problems that might occur with these larger carbs.
The manifold can be ordered as Part No FV450 and retails at £89.95 inc VAT and can be ordered at the other end of 0208 554 2281 or from www.burtonpower.com ENDS.

BIKE POWER
Apr 22nd
Euro Car Parts, official prime battery supplier to the RAC, has launched a new range of Lithium Ion motorcycle batteries by leading European distributor Landport (LP).
Sure to be very appealing to kitcar drivers with bike-engines powering their cars, the new range was originally developed for racing. The super-light LP Lithium Ion batteries weigh between 0.4kg and 1.5kg. This represents a massive weight saving over standard lead acid motorbike batteries, which generally weigh around 4-5kg but can be as heavy as 8.7kg.
Thanks to an innovative design, featuring four terminals instead of the usual two, just eight part numbers cover virtually every More >
COOL EDELBROCK STUFF FROM SUMMIT

Designed to fit most common carburettor configurations, Edelbrock’s Elite II Series air cleaners come with a black anodised nut to complete the installation. The air cleaners feature Edelbrock’s exclusive Pro-Flo air filter, which is washable/re-usable for a long service life.

FLYWEIGHT FLYWHEEL
Apr 22nd
Mini Spares is now offering new competition lightweight flywheels in EN24 alloy for race-spec A-Series motors. The flywheels weigh in at just 3.6kg and are available in inertia starter and pre-engaged starter versions.
EN24 has better wear and shock resistance than EN8, which can fret on the crankshaft of highly-tuned race engines. The EN8 alloy, which is widely used on flywheels, is only a medium strength carbon steel but is easier to machine and is suitable for most applications.
EN24 is more stable as it is a high-strength alloy steel (nickel, chromium and molybdenum) and provides the extra strength margin for extreme use More >

NO HORN JOKES!
Apr 15th
On many V8 engined applications that use Weber 48IDA carburettors, clearance above the carbs can be very limited and this can sometimes prevent the use of the standard 56mm air horns.
Webcon’s new reduced height air horn is just 33mm high so ideal for applications such as Ford GT40 and replicas (the auxilliary venturi height will need to be reduced to suit the new air horns).
The new Webcon 33mm 48IDA air horn wears part number 5284051200 and priced at £30.31 inc VAT each.
They are available directly from Webcon UK on 01932 787 100 or via www.webcon.co.uk ENDS.
