SNATCHING VICTORY FROM THE JAWS OF DEFEAT
Nov 21st
It’s always useful to keep an adjustable wrench in the toolbox, or in the car, as it can get you out of trouble if you haven’t got the correct-sized spanner or socket to hand. But the very nature of the movable jaws means that it can slip or not grip very well, especially if the fastener is worn or rounded off. Well, here’s a game-changer from Laser Tools: the Laser 8975 is a 250mm adjustable wrench that features a unique grip-wrench-style locking mechanism, providing a superior hold on fasteners compared to standard adjustable wrenches.
With an adjustable jaw capacity ranging from More >

PLUMBING FITTINGS-IN MADE SIMPLE

If you do a lot of plumbing with crimp-on fittings, you know how time-consuming it can be. A Fragola Performance Systems D-100 Crimping Machine from Summit Racing will make that task a lot easier.

INSULATE AGAINST ETHANOL DAMAGE!
Nov 14th
With the ever-increasing ethanol content in modern fuels, which causes higher engine bay temperatures, heat soak is becoming more of an issue, especially for down-draft carburettors such as the Weber IDA and IDF.
Traditionally, the use of 5mm insulators has been enough to prevent significant heat transfer. However, in a number of installations, this is no longer sufficient and so Webcon has now developed a range of 10mm insulators to suit these models of carburettor.
These new insulators are available in 40, 44 and 48mm and are made to the very highest quality in the UK. They are supplied complete with gaskets More >
VENTED FAST FORDS!
Nov 14th
As a paid-up ‘fast’ Ford fan I never need an excuse to promote the cause!
Burton Power has made it easier than ever to fit front vented discs to a Ford Capri, Cortina or Mk1 or Mk2 Escort (this conversion will also fit the German Ford Taunus TC Mk 1, 2 & 3).
The kit provides spacers to convert a standard M16 brake caliper to fit the wider OE Ford vented brake discs that were used on Capri 2.8i/Group 1 Escort RS models.
This is a high-quality, accurate copy of the original Ford parts and includes the correct longer pad retaining pins rather than cheaper split More >
YOU’VE GOT THAT SPARK!
Nov 14th
New from Gunson is this super-versatile Spark Plug Tester (part number 77176), a mains-powered diagnostic tool tailored for both professional and home mechanics as well as classic car enthusiasts. The tester replicates engine RPM and enables easy visual assessment of spark plug condition and performance.
The simulated RPM output is easily adjusted from 1000rpm to 6000rpm, testing the spark plug throughout this rev range; a plug may seem to be sparking adequately at cranking or idling speeds but breaks down at higher RPM. Importantly, with dual testing ports, users can easily compare two spark plugs simultaneously, assisting in diagnosis. A brand-new More >
