DURATEC MANIFOLD
Apr 4th
Webcon has just introduced a new inlet manifold to allow a pair of Weber DCOE carburettors or DCOE-style throttle bodies to be installed on the Ford Duratec engine.
Webcon’s engineers designed the new manifold and CNC-manufactured it from billet aluminium to have a thickness of just 35mm from face to face; this makes it ideal for transverse engine installations such as the Lotus Elise Duratec transplant.
However, when used with Webcon’s 32mm manifold extenders, the depth jumps to 67mm making it equally perfect for rear wheel drive installations where a longer intake allows for greater mid-range torque.
MM5060 Manifold is available at £439.20 More >

IT’S A WRENCH
Apr 4th
Not every mechanic in Europe owns a full set of AN (DASH) sized wrenches; trying to make do with steel metric sizes invariably leads to damaged AN fittings.
AN lines are also frequently routed through hard-to-reach areas where a large spanner just can’t reach.
Aeroflow has solved both problems at once with the introduction of its Large Stubby Adjustable AN Wrench.
The wrench features a 4½in long ergonomic handle and fits sizes from -03AN up to -20AN. It is perfect for a highly confined space. The aluminium jaws are specifically designed for alloy end fitting and won’t round or damage them. It’s priced More >
USE THE RIGHT FASTENERS
Apr 4th
When working on high-end, show-quality classic vehicles, kitcars or automotive displays, the fit and finish of the fasteners is just as important as the paint and bodywork.
For example, chrome-plated fasteners can be damaged easily, especially when using standard metal spanners and sockets. That’s why Laser Tools has introduced two specialist non-marring tool sets: the Non-Marring Socket Inserts set (part number 7463) and the Non-Marring Wrench and Pry Bar set (part number 7464).
Kitcars often feature fasteners that can be plated, anodised, chemically passivated or even painted. Lots of care and attention has been put into building and preparing these vehicles, so extra More >

DO YOUR BUTTONS UP
Mar 28th
Looking at the latest offerings from Laser Tools, versatility, innovation and unique product development is at the company’s core, and here’s an excellent example: these new Button Connector Pliers (part number 7407) are equipped with an extended flexible cable – and what a difference that makes!
They are designed to quickly remove the button-type quick-connectors found on fuel lines, power steering pipes and other vehicle systems, but the 650mm extended cable means that you can access connectors buried deep in the engine bay, underneath or obscured by other engine-bay components, or otherwise inaccessible to ordinary pliers.

BRIGHTER LIGHT
Mar 28th
A new range of 100 per cent brighter xenon HID upgrade bulbs from Ring, the automotive lighting experts, offers drivers with xenon HID technology fitted on their vehicles a better, safer night time driving experience.
Compared to a standard xenon HID, they put up to 100 per cent extra light on the road, to get more illumination exactly where the driver needs it. This improved visibility makes it easier to see hazards, reduces eye strain, and, when combined with the high colour temperature of xenon HIDs, gives excellent reflections from signs and road markings.
