MILWAUKEE PACKOUT SYSTEM FROM SUMMIT RACING
Aug 22nd
Add some really nice, fastener-busting wrenches to your Milwaukee PACKOUT system with a Milwaukee Combination Wrench Set. They feature a MAXBITE open end with serrated surfaces that provide 25 per cent more torque than smooth-faced wrenches. The MAXBITE end also reduces the chances of rounding or stripping nuts and bolts.
Other features include 12-point box ends with a 15-degree offset; rounded I-beam handle for comfort; ink-filled size labels for easy identification; and a durable chrome plated finish.
Milwaukee Combination Wrenches are available in 15-piece SAE, 15-piece metric, and 30-piece SAE/metric sets in a PACKOUT organiser with wrench trays and additional storage underneath.

SANDBLASTERS, E-TYPES AND MORE … STEVE HOLE TELLS THE MOTORSPORT STORY OF GUYSON INTERNATIONAL
Guyson Sandblaster Special built and driven by David Hepworth was Shell RAC Hillclimb Champion in 1969 and 1971

The company, Guyson International still exists and produces a variety of machinery focusing on industrial blasting and indeed, if More >
BUY THE BOOK!
Aug 15th
When this charming book landed on my desk the other day it raised a smile.
I read the accompanying note with interest and delight. It hailed from the granddaughter of the late Malcolm ‘Mac’ Tompson, who painstakingly documented every stage of his Mirage Lamborghini Countach replica.
Entitled ‘Building A Kit Car – Dream or Nightmare’? Mac also discussed the joys and nightmares he experienced during the process. It’s a very nice guide for anyone taking on such a build and some of the tips are universal and not just confined to a Countach.
I really like it because as I said it’s charming More >

Aug 15th
Many clearcoats tend to become opaque or ‘yellow’ over time, especially the high-gloss types. The coating experts at ZyCoat say their ZyClear Clear Coat is the first gloss clearcoat that won’t go yellow on you, even when applied to parts that see high temperatures.
ZyClear can be sprayed or wiped on directly to steel, stainless steel, and other metals. It will protect aluminium from oxidation and anodized surfaces from UV discolouration, and can be used as a topcoat for painted, chromed, polished and powdercoated parts.
ZyClear also makes a topcoat for parts like headers, turbos, manifolds, exhaust systems, and intercoolers that have More >
