MIND THE GAP
Mar 17th
A comfortable and ergonomic driving position is vital for safe driving, both on the road and on the track.
The ergonomic driver to wheel distance may be difficult to achieve with aftermarket seats and steering wheels and the fact that some racing classes now demand fixed position seats.
B-G steering wheel spacers are designed to bring the steering wheel closer to the driver for improved steering input and driver comfort and are multi-drilled for both 6x70mm and 6x74mm PCD bolt patterns to accommodate the majority of aftermarket steering wheels.
The two-bolt patterns allow the spacers to be used as a hub spacer and/or More >

GET YOUR TWO WHEELS GOING WITH POWERLITE
Mar 10th
I was intrigued to see Powerlite’s Power Start device at the recent Race Retro show recently and if you’ve got an old British bike such as Triton or BSA you can save your leg muscles by using one of these to get your engine started.
Best-known for their superb range of starters and alternators the 36kg Power Start is a very neat product. It features integrated starter motor and dry battery cell.
It is operated by a foot switch and has duel driven rollers and is extremely ergonomic. If I had an old Norbsa in the shed I’d definitely buy one. A More >

‘DUB-YAH’ PLATE FROM WEBCON
Mar 10th
Despite being over forty years old the Ford Essex 3-litre V6 is still a popular and potent engine for classic Fords, kitcars and hot rods alike.
Unfortunately, age also brings with it the problem of OEM parts becoming obsolete. One of these is the carburettor ‘W’ plate, which is essential to ensure the fuel-air mixture is evenly distributed to all six-cylinders.
For quite some time owners have had little option but to source secondhand ‘W’ plates, but now Webcon has come to the rescue with a faithful reproduction of the original part. The new part has the benefit of being made from More >

GOODRIDGE HOSES FOR CLASSIC MINI
Mar 10th
The original Mini is one of those rare cars that blurs the boundary between the car world and the real world, no mean feat when its decidedly humble origins are taken into account. The 1960s saw it become about as fashionable as is possible for a small, mass-market car to be, a truly classless icon that was just as at home in Mayfair as it was in Middlesbrough.
The Mini lived on long after the sixties though, into the decade that taste forgot and then the go-getting 80s. It soldiered right on through the 1990s and was only finally replaced at More >
