QUICK! SHIFT!

Burton Power is now offering the Quaife Quickshift Gear Lever for Ford’s Type 9 five-speed gearbox as used in many thousands of Fords and Ford-based kitcars, of course.

This gearbox was also a popular five-speed conversion for other classic makes such as MG and Triumph.

The Quickshift shortens the distance between gears thus allowing for faster shifting. The entire construction is steel for ultimate strength in a serious competition environment. It can also be fitted to road cars – but audible vibrations will be transmitted through the lever at certain revs.

This should be taken into account if intended for everyday road use.

NO HEAT SOAK FOR MX-5

The surprisingly warm early autumn weather means that Mazda MX-5 – or kitcars based on same – owners can go on enjoying their cars for longer this year, but when it’s unseasonably warm, the last thing you want is more heat coming through the firewall, floor or transmission tunnel.

That’s where the latest offering from DEI comes in. The DEI Thermal & Acoustic Kit for the 1990-2005 MX-5 insulates the interior from radiating heat but when the weather does change it will keep the interior warmer so you can continue driving long into the winter months.
