Lift-the-Dot fasteners are very secure and easy to use and there is a wide choice of pegs (studs) to choose from. Woolies’ sockets do say ‘Lift-the-Dot’ on them so they are not to be confused with cheaper versions available.

They also have longer pronged sockets (part no. 07A) which are good if you are More >

PRECISE MEASUREMENTS

This compact pro multimeter and oscilloscope package is quite pricey but is really very good and displays results via Bluetooth on a smartphone app.

The ultra-compact Pokit meter has the same functionality for £81 although with a 60volt capacity down from 600volts without handling attachments.

The combined package costs £163 and more information is available via www.pokitmeter.com ENDS.

ROCKIN’ AND ROLLIN’

If your kitcar has a Ford Crossflow read on …

Conventional rocker arms tend to produce sideways movement in the valve stems which causes high levels of friction and subsequent wear to both the stems and valve guides.

However, the wear can be prevented by replacing the standard rockers with roller-rockers; their strong-arm construction and the presence of large, low-friction needle roller bearings virtually eliminate the undesirable sideways movement.

The standard lift Burton Roller Rocker Assembly for the Ford Kent engine can be ordered as part number FP229K at £500.00 inc VAT.

The assembly is suitable for all Ford Kent engines, but an alloy More >

CHOKER

Weber 32/36 DGAV and 38 DGAS carburetors are used on millions of cars around the world; they combine the reliability and power of Weber with the convenience of a water-operated automatic choke.

Over time the efficiency of the bi-metallic unit can deteriorate. This leads to starting problems and poor choke performance. The housing can also corrode if the engine’s antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor have not been correctly maintained.

Now, the choke units on these popular carburettors can be renovated using the new Webcon CRK003 choke overhaul kit.

The Webcon CRK003 choke overhaul kit contains 100 per cent genuine Weber parts including a bi-metallic More >

Almost half of all UK motorists admit to not fully clearing their windscreen of snow and ice before driving off during winter months, according to a new nationwide survey commissioned by Autoglym, the UK’s largest vehicle care brand.

1000 car owners across the UK were asked if they ever drive off before their windscreen is completely clear of snow and ice during winter months, and 48 per cent answered ‘yes’ (14 per cent ‘yes, most of the time’, plus a further 34 per cent ‘yes, sometimes’).
