IT’S IN THE HERITAGE

 

Completely designed and manufactured in-house by Jenvey, the new Heritage Throttle Body has been developed with Aston Martin specialist GTC Engineering and boasts all the plus points associated with Individual Throttle Bodies (ITBs), yet manages to marry these with the subtle, understated looks of a period carburettor – ensuring that it won’t look out of place in the engine bays of any classic and retro vehicles.

The Heritage Throttle Body is an entirely homogenous replacement for traditional twin-carb setups that will fit any vehicle currently running any DCOE carburettor model.

Prices start at £620 for a single setup, a pair cost £1120 More >

TO THE VICTOR GO THE SPOILS. MEET THE WINNERS DETAILING RANGE.

Colin at Killer Brands does a great job with a wide range of car detailing and related products, some of which he imports from the States. However, lurking within the line-up are a couple of own brand products including the Winners Detailing range.

Priced at the budget end of the market nevertheless, the range belies its humble pricing and offers a strong level of value for money. I was asked to try their Winners Carnauba Paste Wax (containing 60 per cent Brazilian carnauba) and was extremely impressed.

In an industry where bright colours and nifty smells abound, the Winners Carnauba Wax is More >

IT’S GOOD TO LOOK BACK!

B-G Racing has drawn on its extensive race experience and introduced a pair of universal wide-angle mirrors that are perfect for kitcar use given that rear view can be iffy. The convex glass provides a wide field of vision to give you the best view of what’s behind you.

The mirrors simply fasten to a rollcage using the bolt-on brackets provided for a secure fitment that will not vibrate loose. All brackets are slotted to provide a wide range of adjustment and are secured to the mirror using two wing knobs that allow for simple adjustment by hand.

The mirrors are available More >
