NICE WHEELS MATE
May 7th
If you are building a Cal Look Beetle there will be a few wheels on your wish list and the BRM will no doubt be one of them.
Originals were made from magnesium and now change hands for thousands per corner, but there is another way…
SSP has captured the spirit of the seventies perfectly in their tribute to this classic rim. Manufactured in a more durable and cost-effective alloy, they still sport a ‘wide 5’ stud pattern, measure 5 x15in and have a slightly more favourable offset of ET14.
Finished in matt black with silver highlights they have a purposeful performance look More >

PINS AND NEEDLES
May 7th
New from Rally Design is this neat alternative to the traditional bonnet pin kit. The receptacle assembly mounts to the bonnet and aligns with pins attached to the slam panel. On closing the bonnet, the receptacle automatically latches positively to the pins, it can only be released by pressing the centre button.
Originally manufactured in the USA, beautifully made but very expensive, there are cheap copies out of China, which are not stainless and very badly manufactured.
Blackline has continued its valued reputation of producing a top-quality part at a mid-range price level.

BUCKET LIST
May 5th
This is one to cross off your bucket list! Manufactured from heavy-duty, high-grade stainless steel this 12-litre bucket (part number 5929) from Laser Tools is far stronger and easier to clean than plastic or galvanised buckets.
The advantages over plastic alternatives are numerous: this stainless-steel bucket can tolerate very high temperatures, so can be used for combustible materials such as ashes, etc – very much stronger than plastic and of course, fully recyclable.
There is another big advantage – the spun manufacturing construction means no seams — therefore this stainless-steel bucket is more hygienic and easier to clean, making it suitable for More >
MK GET RAW
Apr 29th
Never a week or month goes by without news about MK introducing a new product or acquiring an existing one.
Well, news this week is that the Rayne, Essex-based company has taken over the range of models formerly produced by Raw Striker, which in recent years have faded from view although have always remained available.
This brings the Striker, Phoenix and Fulcrum under MK Sportscars’ control using the ‘MK’ name rather than ‘Raw’.
Fulcrum
The trio of new arrivals join the MK Indy range and various elements of the old AB Performance business as well as the Kit Car Direct operation under MK’s control.

IT’S AN ALARM AND A TORCH
Apr 29th
Love this new Impact Alarm Torch from Redline Security which should be of real interest to kit and specialist car owners, which can leave the occupants vulnerable if the ever-present concern of road rage occurs.
In addition to being a dazzling 400-lumen torch, it has a 20Hz strobe light and an ear-piercing 130dB siren/alarm. They provide the motorist with a way of legally protecting themselves should, god forbid, the worse happen.
Two sizes are available. The regular at 15.5cm costing £17.95 and a large version at 22.4cm at £24.95.
In low setting, a single charge can last up to eighteen hours for the More >

FEELING SQUASHED
Apr 29th
A great addition to your garage or workshop is the Squashlight! It is an innovative high-power torch within a ‘squashy sphere. This means that when space is tight and light is urgently needed Squashlight comes into its own.
It provides light where it is needed and it is made from a polyurethane polymer and the really clever part is the way the stepped hole punched through the centre of the sphere and allows the torch to be ‘locked’ into place.
A bargain at just £13.99 with more information from www.squashlight.co.uk ENDS.
