YAY, A NEWS ITEM ON A KIT-FORM TVR!
Mar 10th
The Grantura was produced by TVR from the late Fifties until it was replaced by the Griffith (basically a MkIII Grantura powered by a Ford 289 V8) in 1963.
Production numbers were never high so the numbers surviving are relatively low. However, that doesn’t stop GAZ from offering fully adjustable suspension dampers for the Granturas that are still around today.
The GAZ GHA suspension kit provides ride height adjustability from -25mm to -55mm.
The height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and the damper units are zinc plated to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable More >
UP THE CREEK WITH A PADDLE
Mar 10th
As an official Helix dealer, Burton Power now has stocks of the Helix Five Paddle Clutch Kit for Ford Cosworth YB 16v Turbo 4wd applications.
The clutch features Cerametallic Paddle Drive plates that have cerametallic segments riveted onto a steel backplate.
These segments are thicker than the sintered type to provide higher heat tolerance and have improved heat dissipation where a greater level of clutch slip is required. This design is mainly targeted at high-energy competition applications used in rally and race use, especially endurance, but the inclusion of damper springs to cushion the impact of clutch engagement on the driveline components More >

Mini Spares is pleased to announce it can once again supply its exclusive Rose Petal 4¾in x 10 alloy wheels.
The Mini Spares Rose Petal is a faithful reproduction of the classic 1960s wheel.

THESE ARE GOOD

Machine Mart’s range of Clarke Green Garage/Workshop units are very popular with kitcar enthusiasts looking to protect their pride and joy, or with those who want some extra workspace without the costs involved with building or extending a permanent structure.

Available soon, Clarke is adding two SUPERSIZED models, measuring 32ft and 40ft long, respectively! These two models are designed for use with much larger vehicles such as vans, boats, camper vans and coaches.

KEEP THINGS SAFE WITH TITANIUM SLEEVES
Mar 10th
DEI has just added heat resistant Knitted Sleeves to its range of titanium heat protection products.
The sleeves are available in two different pre-cut lengths – 30.48cm (12in) and 60.96cm (24in).
The knitted sleeves are designed to fit around – and insulate – exhaust pipes to prevent the transfer of heat to surrounding components and the passenger compartment.
They are also ideal protection against burns from kitcars and trucks with exposed exhausts.
The DEI Titanium Knitted Sleeves have a maximum temperature rating of 1800o F (approx. 982oC) with a continuous rating of 1382oF (750oC).
The Titanium Knitted Sleeves are designed to fit 4in (10.16cm) O.D. More >
THE ONLY WAY IS ESSEX
Mar 3rd
Burton Power has announced that it can now provide alloy rocker covers for the Ford Essex V6 engine.
The rocker covers come in a natural alloy finish but are suitable for painting if preferred. (Burton also stocks the appropriate engine paint, incidentally).
The design features polished ribs and the ‘ESSEX – V6’ legend. (‘Ford’ isn’t mentioned, so these rocker covers would be equally at home on other Essex V6-powered marques such as Gilbern, Marcos, Reliant and TVR in addition to lots of kitcars.
Order as part number FV430F at £192.50 per pair.
