LET’S STICK TOGETHER
Dec 16th
Available now from Merlin Motorsport is a very popular product amongst the kitcar fraternity – SIKAFLEX 221.
Sikaflex 221 is a flexible polyurethane sealant that also has unbelievable sticking powers.
Ideal for bonding panels together where a fastener cannot be used or when the panel needs to be watertight.

Nuff said!

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT? GERRY COTTERS CIRCUS’!?
Dec 16th
Mini Spares has just introduced a new competition valve cotter with a large single groove for early Mini heads.
The cotters are precision CNC-machined from 4340 steel and heat-treated to a higher specification than EN24T to resist fatigue and make them more durable under race conditions.
The large single groove design provides a better location around the valves and makes it easier to control spring heights.
The cotters are designed to be used with the original top caps (88G616). They can be used with small single groove top caps (88G617), but the cotters will sit about 20 thou higher; this will be fine More >
ALWAYS FANCIED GETTING INTO F1?
Dec 9th
I really like the Furore F1 project, and I always enjoy speaking with the project’s creator, Russ Bost.
He’s recently updated the model to bring the styling more in line with latest Formula One car styling with areas such as front wing, engine cover, side panels, faux airbox and rear wing. Quite considerable amendments really!
Russ has also cleverly revised the lighting making them brighter but less visible and the part I like the most he’s also given it an F1 car style bad weather rear light. When it rains, F1 drivers are required to turn on the single rear red light.

STOP HEATSOAK
Dec 9th
The increasing levels of ethanol in fuel have led to a rise in the number of heat soak problems.
This occurs when the heat rises up through the intake manifold thereby warming a downdraft carburettor body to the extent that fuel in the float chamber expands, or in some cases, actually boils; the result is neat fuel in the manifold but an empty float chamber.
Downdraft carburettors, such as the Weber 32/36 DGV and DGAV, have always been supplied with a 6mm insulator block in an attempt to prevent this from happening. However, in some cases, that is no longer sufficient and More >
