PROPERLY CLEVER!
Jun 17th
When undertaking repetitive removing or refitting of fasteners, perhaps when stripping down an engine, the use of a cordless drill certainly speeds things up. Loosen the fastener with a socket and ratchet handle then remove it quickly with the cordless drill. Make the task even easier with these socket adaptors from Laser Tools (designed for cordless drill use) which feature rotating sleeves that can be held securely while the adaptor is spinning.
Two sets are available: the 6983 set features three adaptors (1/4in drive, 3/8in drive and 1/2in drive) which have different coloured anodised aluminium spinning sleeves for easy identification. The 1/4in drive More >

REAL INNOVATION
Jun 17th
For a decade or more, car lighting companies have been having to cope with LED dash lighting bulbs that either could not be dimmed or which required a new and special dimmer to cope.
For all of that time, companies large and small have been trying to develop LED bulbs that will work with the original car dimmer switches, and it has been too difficult or too expensive, or both.
Now, after an intensive development programme, Better Car Lighting of Warwickshire is very proud to announce that they can now supply the world’s first dimmable LED upgrade for the ubiquitous Lucas 987 More >

SAFE STAYCATION
Jun 17th
Ring Automotive is urging ‘staycation’ holiday-goers to put quality first when purchasing their all-essential towing and leisure equipment and has expanded its range as a result.
The National Caravan Club saw a 71 per cent increase in caravan sales in July 2020, and this summer, the new caravan owners are set to hit the road. However, Ring is warning about the consequences surrounding purchasing and fitting a low-quality towbar and wiring kit.
Key risks include the trailer’s stability being compromised, resulting in it dangerously swaying while in transit. The braking electronics can also be affected, as well as the effectiveness of various More >

FILTERED TRANSMISSION
Jun 17th
It’s vitally important to maintain consistent line pressure by avoiding fluid flow restrictions and keeping a good supply of clean, fresh fluid to the pump. This is especially important if your transmission is equipped with a full manual or trans-brake valve body.
Summit Racing Hi-Flow Race Transmission Filter Kits replace the restrictive factory-style filter element with a low-restriction brass screen that allows maximum fluid flow, yet the filters can still capture harmful particles that can damage or destroy your transmission.
They’re available for Turbo 350-400, Powerglide, and Ford C-4 transmissions.

TWINK COVERED

The Burton Power modular cover and water pump kit for the Lotus Twin Cam enables the water pump components to be easily removed without disturbing the front cover or the sump.
The water pump components are assembled into a module which can then be inserted into the front cover housing and retained with three socket cap screws. This saves a huge amount of time when replacing the water pump seals and bearings and saves unnecessary costs in replacing oil and gaskets.
The package includes the water pump module and both front and rear covers. It is suitable for a standard height original More >
