New from our good friends at Woolies Trim are three different lengths of aluminium running board tread which has the ends neatly finished into a point, 915mm, 803mm and 659mm long.

Square holes are pre-drilled in the aluminium and they come complete with rubber (off-the-roll not cut to fit) and the nuts and bolts to fix them.  They are ideal for luggage racks and shorter running boards.

They compliment their usual 6ft lengths of aluminium which are also available.

With winter well and truly upon us, it’s the time of year when we can get stuck into jobs that we’ve perhaps been putting off during the warmer months.

This new Eastwood High-Temperature Silver Exhaust Paint (part 10020) will suit any part of your steel exhaust from the manfold backwards.

One 248gm can (£25 each) can give coverage for six sq/ft and is able to withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees C. More More >

I’ve now driven a couple of kitcars fitted with the brand new Durapower 2-litre from engine supply maestros, Powertorque Engineering in Coventry.

With the demise of the Ford Duratec, Powertorwue moved fast to find their own replacement for what is a very important kitcar engine.

I’d heard lots of good things about it and I wasn’t disappointed. Clearly, very similar in its characteristics to the Duratec but somehow it seemed more flexible in its power delivery in both of the cars I drove.
