THIS MAKES SENSE
Feb 24th
One of the bugbears of modern motoring is having the ‘Check Engine’ light come on, paying for a garage to check it out and finding that it’s not an engine fault, but the sensor ‘playing up’.
There are many reasons for a sensor giving a false warning or actually fail. Some can be prevented by fitting DEI’s new Thermal Sensor Covers.
DEI Thermal Sensor Covers will protect delicate sensors, plugs and wire connectors from heat, moisture and dirt. They are made from an aluminised insulation material that acts as a thermal barrier for sensitive wire connections and the sensors themselves.

IT’S A ‘JECT’ A ‘RETRO’ ONE
Feb 18th
Here we are in the third decade of the 21st Century and there are still kit and classic car owners who have yet to discover the benefits of electronic fuel injection (EFI).
No doubt most don’t realise how simple the conversion can be thanks to the Retroject 38/38 Throttle Body from Webcon.
The Retroject is a dual injector throttle body designed to directly replace the Weber 32/36 DGV and 38DGAS carburettors.
The critical dimensions are identical so it will fit! The positioning of the throttle lever and throttle rotation are the same so it will be possible to:

SPRITE FLYWHEEL

There must be quite a few Austin Healey Sprite owners – or kits and conversions based on the car – who are preparing their cars for the first outing of the year. So, it’s just the right time to consider installing a Fidanza lightweight flywheel.
A Fidanza lightweight aluminium flywheel will improve performance and acceleration because replacing the heavy standard flywheel dramatically improves the power-to-weight ratio.
The flywheel is made from high-quality machined 6061 T6 aluminium with a 1050 steel friction surface. Fastener holes and chamfers have been CNC machined for accuracy and military-grade fasteners are included.

VERY ADAPTABLE

Here’s one for our friends in North America.
It’s the little things that really make a vehicle work. Take an EFI system for example. Without adapter fittings like the ones made by Fragola that system won’t be injecting any fuel.
Fragola’s Quick-Connect EFI Adapter Fittings let you connect aftermarket fuel rails and pressure regulators to the factory EFI fuel line and are available in straight and 90-degree versions to make your installation easier.
The black anodised aluminium fittings have a 3/8in quick-connect end for the OE fuel line and your choice of 3/6-16, 7/8-14, and 9/16-18 ORB (O-ring) ends for the fuel rails More >
