HIGH-POWER LED UPGRADE FOR THE LUCAS L661 REVERSING LIGHT
Jul 25th
Many owners of older kitcars feel the need to enjoy effective reversing lights, being able to use a red rear foglight when conditions turn murky, and perhaps more effective brake lights. However, bolting on extra auxiliary lights rarely improves a classic car, so a high-power, multi-function LED upgrade can be the answer.
For the Lucas L661 reversing light and many others of a similar size, this upgrade conversion will equip the original reversing light with a high-powered white light for reversing, plus an extra red brake light, plus a red rear foglight at the flick of a switch
The custom-designed LED lightboard fits neatly behind the lens and becomes More >

CLEVER PROTECTION!
Jul 18th
When working on high-end, show-quality classic vehicles or automotive displays, the fit and finish of the fasteners is just as important as the paint and bodywork. For example, chrome-plated fasteners can be damaged easily, especially when using standard metal spanners and sockets. That’s why Laser Tools has introduced this specialist non-marring imperial (AF) Socket/Wrench Insert Set (part number 8468).
With top-class classic or show vehicles, fasteners can be plated, anodised, chemically passivated or even painted. Lots of care and attention has been put into building and preparing these vehicles, so extra care and attention is also required when working on them. More >

NEW BOOTS
Jul 18th
Steering rack boot (or gaiter) replacement: if you pop the track-rod end and then unscrew it to remove the old rack boot you will affect the front wheel tracking. Yes, you can count the threads, etc, and get the track rod back in approximately the same position, but it won’t be 100 per cent correct.
However, with this easy-to-fit steering rack boot kit from Connect Workshop Consumables (part number 37663), you simply pop the track rod end, then using the specially-designed fitting cone, stretch the new boot over the track-rod end and across to the steering rack housing. Quick and easy, More >
