BONDING. JAMES BOND(ING) – SORRY!
May 4th
I’m a big fan of the products sold by E-Teck, a broad range of stuff that is absolutely ideal for kitcar enthusiasts, either on the car or around the home.
Take their MS55 Professional Adhesive & Car Body Seam Sealer. I’ve been using it on our RPX and Abster projects and also to seal a bit of plywood boxing-in I was doing in our kitchen!
A professional-grade adhesive that is high-strength and extremely flexible, meaning that is spot-on for when fitting a car body to a chassis. Strong enough to stick fast, but with enough flex to ensure it stays stuck.

PUT FLEX IN YOUR BOOM!
May 4th
Boom Mat’s regular aluminium damping material has long been used to reduce vibration and noise while providing insulation to protect against extreme heat and cold.
Now, meet Boom Mat Flex, a material that is pliable enough to be used anywhere in a vehicle, even in the most challenging areas such as those with tight curves. Unlike Boom Mat Aluminium, Boom Mat Flex easily conforms to odd shapes and tighter bends making it ideal to use inside wheel wells, mudguards or around tubing and pipes.

ALUMINIUM-BODIED JEWEL
Apr 27th
Lincolnshire-based Martin Batho is a clever lad. Over 25-years’ experience in sheet-metal work and welding fabrication means that he is a bit of a dab-hand at making anything you want out of the material.
Several years ago, he produced his own aluminium-bodied Lotus Seven-inspired sportscar and made a rather nice job of it. He decided to offer a kit version commercially and impressed lots of people at last year’s Stoneleigh kitcar show and suitably encouraged he has spent the last 12-months developing it further and will be at this year’s show with the latest version of the MB1.
