STRAIGHT AND TRUE
Nov 3rd
Drilling out a broken stud is an exercise fraught with danger; if the drill does not go in 100 per cent straight and parallel to the stud, the internal threads can be drilled through or worse, the cylinder head or gearbox casing can be left expensively damaged.
This new kit from Laser Tools (part number 6587), allows the user to correctly and safely drill out broken M8 and M10 studs and bolts. Ideal for use on exhaust manifolds, inlet manifolds, cylinder heads, gearboxes, differentials, etc, where stud size and spacing allows access.
The shallow design improves access to allow drilling in situ. More >

Mini Spares has just released a brand new five-port, alloy head for the classic Mini. The new C-AHT347 alloy head is based on the original Cooper ‘S’ 12G1805 version of the 12G940 casting with eleven studs.
