WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT? GERRY COTTERS CIRCUS’!?
Dec 16th
Mini Spares has just introduced a new competition valve cotter with a large single groove for early Mini heads.
The cotters are precision CNC-machined from 4340 steel and heat-treated to a higher specification than EN24T to resist fatigue and make them more durable under race conditions.
The large single groove design provides a better location around the valves and makes it easier to control spring heights.
The cotters are designed to be used with the original top caps (88G616). They can be used with small single groove top caps (88G617), but the cotters will sit about 20 thou higher; this will be fine More >
ALWAYS FANCIED GETTING INTO F1?
Dec 9th
I really like the Furore F1 project, and I always enjoy speaking with the project’s creator, Russ Bost.
He’s recently updated the model to bring the styling more in line with latest Formula One car styling with areas such as front wing, engine cover, side panels, faux airbox and rear wing. Quite considerable amendments really!
Russ has also cleverly revised the lighting making them brighter but less visible and the part I like the most he’s also given it an F1 car style bad weather rear light. When it rains, F1 drivers are required to turn on the single rear red light.
