PUT THAT FIRE OUT
Jun 13th
100-1458 FDPA
Owning a vehicle that’s powered by a tank of flammable liquid carries a risk and sometimes things go wrong. Likewise cooking in a campervan is a typical holiday task, but it only takes one rogue spark and it could all end in tears.
For those who like to be prepared should the worst happen Heritage Parts Centre have stocked up with a full complement of portable extinguishing equipment, to add to their existing range of ‘fitted’ systems from DAUS and BlazeCut.
From Fire Blankets for kitchen blazes, Fire Retardant spray to treat soft furnishings through to a choice of fire extinguishers, More >

Steve Milburn of Speed3 Automotive has made a few changes of late. The County Durham-based company has sold their MG TF-based Mini project to Birch Motorsport leaving them to concentrate on their Metro 6R4 replica called ‘The Rep’, which uses a Metro/Rover 100 bodyshell and mechanicals with kit prices starting at £7950.
The company has also announced a new kit called Project 3, which is so-called because is it their er, third project!

SWIMMING? NO, NOT THAT SERPENTINE!
Jun 6th
Now you can get an Eddie Motorsports S-Drive Serpentine Pulley Drive System in the company’s extra-shiny Bright Clearcoat Finish.
It’s a high-gloss polished-finish sealed with Eddie’s ultra-durable Fusioncoat clearcoat used in the marine industry.
Nobody is going to outshine your engine compartment with an S-Drive system under your bonnet – and Eddie Motorsports says it costs no more than a system without the clearcoat.
The S-Drive systems work every bit as good as they look, too. Engine accessories – water pump, alternator, power steering pump, and A/C compressor – are driven by a six- or eight-rib serpentine belt depending on the application.

MAKE AN IMPACT WITHOUT IMPACT!

For a seized fastener, especially if it’s countersunk, the traditional remedy has always been the impact driver. However, you have to be careful using a traditional impact driver, as every technician knows it’s easy to injure your hand.
No need to worry with this new design of impact driver from Laser Tools (part number 7540). The addition of a flexi-head handle lets you keep your hand out of harm’s way while adding extra leverage to the action of the impact driver.
This four-piece 3/8in-drive tool is designed for removing seized, corroded and over tightened fasteners. Hold the handle tight against the fastener More >

May 30th
There seems to be a lot of buzz around the new RS Retro RS200 replica, and quite rightly so, as the quality is superb.
However, it’s not the only RS200 clone that you can buy in the UK currently. There are at least two others.
One of them, the MRS200, was developed for a customer by the superstar that is Chris Welch of Tribute Automotive before he sold the project on.
It’s unusual in being a body conversion based around Toyota MR2 Mk3 Roadster and is now being made by Lee Hwozdyk of Rochdale, Lancashire and he’s busy preparing a demonstrator.

RALLY DESIGN GET RAMPED-UP!
May 30th
To accurately measure caster angle you need to rotate the wheels 15- or 20-degrees, in either direction. This is best achieved by positioning the wheels on angular graduated turntables.
Rally Design has previously sold many pairs of turntables manufactured in steel, weighing in at about 62kg, but their new design in aluminium is more manageable, weighing in at only 20kg.
The capacity remains the same, however at 2-tonnes per wheel and even the price is the same at £167.80 inc VAT per pair. The kit includes drive-up steel ramps to assist loading.
