WD40 is a go-to product for automotive enthusiasts and I don’t think I’ve ever visited a kitcar owner of manufacturer who hasn’t had at least one tin on the shelf of their garage or workshop.

Webcon has announced that it has just added a five-port MGB cylinder-head to its range of superlight aluminium cylinder-heads.
The Webcon head has been precision manufactured from lightweight LM25 aluminium to give around a 60 per cent weight saving over the original cast iron head.
This material also provides superior heat dissipation qualities and is significantly easier to modify; furthermore, unlike the cast iron head, it will not crack.
Webcon supplies the head with valve guides already fitted and with hardened valve seats to make it suitable for use with unleaded fuel.

MODELS FOR COLLECTORS
Sep 12th
Loving the new limited edition series of 1:43 scale models in Corgi’s Vanguards series, which are aimed at the collector.
Within the range there’s everything from a Ford Anglia to a Volkswagen Beetle. Each one comes with a certificate detailing the respective model’s history.
I have already bought the Ford Capri Mk3 in Tibetan Gold as that was the first Capri I ever owned, while the Cortina Savage 3-litre will probably be next on my list.
Latest addition is Don ‘the father of the MGB’ Hayter’s MGB V8 Roadster, which really is a lovely thing with lots of detail.
Prices range from around £28.49 More >
