SAVE AND SEAL
Jan 11th
With the design of many Mini parts now some 60 years old it’s hardly surprising that science has developed improved alternatives.
The classic Mini differential output shaft oil seal is a case in point. Mini Spares has announced a new version made from a modern-day material – Viton. This will help stop those troublesome leaks that many classic A-Series suffer from.
Available as part ADU5738VITON the RRP is just £3.42 each inc VAT (note: two are required per gearbox).

THEY’RE NOT SEALIONS THEY’RE SEALS!
Jan 11th
Seals Plus Direct (SPD) is one of those companies that the specialist car industry can’t really do without. As the name suggests, they specialise in rubber seals although they do offer much more than that. Think rubber or silicone extrusions, expanded neoprene, white PVC cord, flocked lined window rubbers, and glass door seals, to name but a few of the 800 product lines they keep in stock. Actually, the total of stock and non-stock part numbers they have access to is closer to 10,000!
Kit and specialist cars play a significant part in the business although are dwarfed by classic cars More >

STAY PROTECTED ON TRACK
Jan 11th
Modern head and neck restraint systems do a great job in reducing head and neck injuries caused by the whiplash motion generated during an impact. An issue most restraints don’t address is concussion prevention. Bumpy tracks, a bumping a guardrail, or other low-impact events can be enough to cause a concussion or other brain injury, even if you’re wearing a helmet (which you should).
The Meru Safety Ascent Carbon Brace is designed to protect your neck and reduce the chances of getting a concussion. It features Meru’s Inertia Dampening System (IDS) that uses a speed-sensitive dampener mounted on the Ascent’s hinged collar More >
