Nov 22nd
These PerTronix Quick-Change Crimping Tools have some cool features that will make your wiring tasks go smoother. They feature five interchangeable, hardened chromoly steel die-sets to handle the most common automotive terminals – insulated, non-insulated, open-barrel, D-subs, and spark plug wire.

WELL SPRUNG
Nov 22nd
These new heavy-duty coil spring compressors from Rally Design will make a potentially dangerous job a lot easier and safer.
My late father, a motor mechanic all of his life, lost the movement in his right thumb when a spring ‘let go’ and I vividly recall the damage it did to his hand. Not a pretty sight for a lad of six to witness.
The Rally Design kit is of high-quality and suitable for home and professional workshop use. It includes a safeguard brace to prevent accidental slippage of the tool rotating around the coil and also ensures parallel operation.
The compressors have More >
SOUND AND THE FURY
Nov 15th
With over 1000 kits sold the Fury is not only one of the finest kitcar around it is also a decent seller in specialist car terms.
Designed by Jeremy Phillips of Sylva Autokits in 1991, it has kept a low-profile in recent years, although Fury Sportscars, run by Steve Hughes in Cranbrook, Kent, are very much still around.
They earn the largest portion of their crust from general kit-building and restoration work these days but they are also kept busy with spare parts and remedial work on older examples of the Fury.
It’s the sort of kitcar that puts a smile on your More >
SPARK PLUG SOCKETS
Nov 15th
As modern petrol engines get smaller in capacity, they also get physically smaller as well. These tight dimensions and clearances mean that the (smaller) spark plugs are deeply recessed and you will invariably find that your trusty spark plug socket will not fit into the recess.
Reach for this new thin-walled spark plug socket set from Laser Tools (part number 7295). This is a three-piece, 3/8in drive set of dedicated spark plug sockets that feature very thin walls to fit these narrow, modern spark plug recesses. Manufactured from chrome vanadium steel to keep them strong, they also feature a rubber insert More >
HERITAGE POLYURETHANE BUSHES
Nov 15th
The power of the re-imagined and the recreated is undeniably strong at the moment. Retro cars made modern is now a trend for any number of cottage industries turned massively successful businesses in recent years – firms like Singer for its 911 recreations and Eagle for its E-type re-imagining have chiselled out a niche in the classic car marketplace that’s almost impossible to better. There’s good reason for the obsession as well – modern underpinnings with retro good looks makes an awful lot of sense – practicality with new age performance and economy…What’s not to like?
That’s only part of the More >
