FAST HORSES

Using a dehumidifier can help prevent mould damage to organic materials like upholstery or rust on metal parts.
After nearly five years of development by Meaco involving gathering feedback from over 2000 customers about what they liked and disliked about their Meaco dehumidifiers, Meaco launched the MeacoDry Arete One, a machine that can simply be switched on and More >

BATTERY EXTRA SAFETY
Sep 16th
Here’s one primarily aimed at our North American readers.
With fourteen types to choose from, you should have no trouble finding the right Longacre Battery Disconnect Switch for your kitcar.
By cutting off electrical power to your car, a disconnect switch will dramatically lower the risk of a fire from ignited fuel or a short circuit in the event of an accident.
Longacre rotary turn switches are rated at 175amps continuous/1000-amps surge with a voltage capacity of 6 to 36 volts. Some have an alternator disconnect circuit to prevent damage to the alternator diodes when the battery current is switched off suddenly.

SPR1 – MAZDA MX-5 BODY CONVERSION
Sep 9th
The Blackwell SPR1 body conversion is a pretty cool thing and one that often goes under the radar.
The Essex-based company run by Wayne Blackwell has been enjoying some success with their Mazda MX-5 Mk1-based kit and although it’s not a replica there’s some definite Blackpool influence in the styling.
It’s certainly a good way to lift a possibly tired MX-5. Two versions are available – Coupé and Targa with kits priced at £3595 and £3250, respectively.
The packages include GRP bonnet, sills, door skins, rear clam section, a pair of quarter lights, taillights, headlights and indicators.
You’ll require a few extra bits and More >
