The Ford Duratec engine has proven popular with tuners and kitcar builders alike and almost all conversions use throttle bodies or Weber DCOE carburettors.

For years Webcon has supplied a regular intake manifold, but in some instances space is at a premium and it is not possible to use the standard 75mm manifold.

Webcon now produces a manifold, part number MM5060, that is just 35mm deep so will facilitate fitment of carburettors or throttle bodies to installations where space is limited. MM5060 is superbly CNC-manufactured from billet Aluminium, is available from stock and is priced at £435.90 inc VAT.

Here’s a product that trackday attendees at Castle Combe circuit might well be aware of…

Some years ago Merlin Motorsport designed their own simple supplementary silencer/Muffler. It’s a round box of 4in diameter, 8in long and has a 2in perforation in the bore and is packed with E-Glass.

Merlin’s technicians weld a short length of exhaust pipe at one end and slip it over the exhaust. The end cap on the other end is tacked on with four welds so it’s possible to grind out the weld and repack the E-Glass. See the MERLIN MUFFLER here.

The Muffler can fit over the exhaust, in which More >

Sealey’s new drill stand with a cast iron base was launched in their engineering promotion, which is valid until the end of July 2018. Used for vertical drilling when using a hand drill, the unit is supplied with a quick jaw release drill vice that mounts onto the base to secure the workpiece.

The DS01 features a pre-set depth control and stop for drilling depths of up to 60mm. It is ideal for accurate and repetitive drilling. An adaptor bush is supplied for use with a drill collar diameter of 38mm, but it’s not required with a 43mm item.

The first thing to say about Angelwax Bilberry wheel wax is its intense red colour and be warned it will stain your plush microfiber cloth with its deep, red colour, so best to use an applicator or old cloth.

Other than that it’s an excellent product that gives a protective coating to alloy wheels although as a hard paste-type wax you really don’t need very much as a little goes a very long way.

Apply it to a clean, cool wheel, leave it to go hazy for no more than ten minutes and just buff-off. Angelwax reckons that for truly exceptional results More >
