PUT FLEX IN YOUR BOOM!
May 4th
Boom Mat’s regular aluminium damping material has long been used to reduce vibration and noise while providing insulation to protect against extreme heat and cold.
Now, meet Boom Mat Flex, a material that is pliable enough to be used anywhere in a vehicle, even in the most challenging areas such as those with tight curves. Unlike Boom Mat Aluminium, Boom Mat Flex easily conforms to odd shapes and tighter bends making it ideal to use inside wheel wells, mudguards or around tubing and pipes.
This new flexible peel and stick damping material are available in packs of two, four or ten.

ALUMINIUM-BODIED JEWEL
Apr 27th
Lincolnshire-based Martin Batho is a clever lad. Over 25-years’ experience in sheet-metal work and welding fabrication means that he is a bit of a dab-hand at making anything you want out of the material.
Several years ago, he produced his own aluminium-bodied Lotus Seven-inspired sportscar and made a rather nice job of it. He decided to offer a kit version commercially and impressed lots of people at last year’s Stoneleigh kitcar show and suitably encouraged he has spent the last 12-months developing it further and will be at this year’s show with the latest version of the MB1.

NEW BEETLE MOTORS
Apr 27th
