UNDER THE PUMP
Feb 3rd
Webcon has announced that it now has stocks of the Huco 12v suction fuel pump.
The Huco pump is intended for under-bonnet mounting and offers an excellent alternative to boot-mounted or in-tank fuel pumps.
The 12v pump delivers fuel at a maximum capacity of 130 l/hr at a maximum pressure of 0.15 bar and with maximum suction of 0.2 bar which makes it suitable for carburettor fuel systems.
The Huco pump is quite compact measuring just 78mm in diameter and 120mm in length.
Fuel line connections are via two 8mm diameter tubes and electrical connection involves just two wires.

YOU CAN’T WASH YOUR CAR WITH A BONIO!

Looking for a sponge that covers all bases, lasts a long time, and is eco-friendly?

SQUEAK-FREE WIPER BLADES
Feb 3rd
Parts in Motion reminds drivers to replace blades for streak-free cleaning in winter.
In winter, the importance of having fresh wiper blades with good adhesion to the windscreen glass can be more visible than any other time of year.
Throughout the winter months, salt is sprayed onto the road surface in order to minimise the risk of ice and frozen patches.
Following vehicles on wet roads that had been salted the previous night means your windscreen wipers will be working overtime and PartsinMotion.co.uk reminds drivers to replace their wiper blades to ensure streak-free visibility, even in the worst winter conditions.
Matt Gates, director of PartsinMotion.co.uk, said: “Wiper blades are More >

THIS DRIVES ME NUTS!
Jan 27th
You’ve got original factory wheel nuts and you’ve got the wheel nut socket that was supplied with the car. But it doesn’t fit! What’s going on?
Some wheel nuts are manufactured with a permanently fitted chromium-plated cap. These start off from the factory as a whole size, but over time due to the combination of corrosion and impact tool use, the wheel nuts can swell by up to 0.5mm.
Laser Tools has a solution! This newly introduced three-piece impact socket set (part number 8214) features ½in drive sockets that are double-ended, one end 1mm larger than the other, which overcomes the issue More >
