The Weber DCD has been used on classic cars since the 1960s and is still for sale today. However, if left in damp conditions for any length of time the starter valve has a tendency to seize and this leads to starting problems.
You can now service the entire Starter Valve assembly easily and cheaply with Webcon’s new DCD Starter Valve Kit.
Part number 5860000700K contains a genuine Weber starter valve, bush, spring and retaining ring and is competitively priced at just £31.50 plus VAT.
Webcon’s Weber Starter Valve Kit is available from Webcon directly or through its global network of distributors.

The Lotus Type 47 was one of several incarnations of the Lotus Europa and had a Lotus-Ford Twin Cam engine rather than the Renault motor of the original Europa. It also had special suspension based on the Lotus 23/Lotus 22 Formula Junior with reversed bottom wishbone, top link and dual radius arms.
Not many were made (estimates vary from 55 to 68 during the years 1966-70), so it’s unlikely that you’ll find replacement dampers for a 47 at the local motor spares shop. However, GAZ can make fully adjustable dampers for most classic cars and the Type 47 is a prime example of what GAZ can achieve. Despite the complexity of the Type 47 front dampers , that can be seen in the photograph, this is not a problem for GAZ.
These specially made GP adjustable units are suitable for both for road and competition use.
They have a gas cell fitted in the outer reservoir to prevent cavitation of the oil and resist fade. They are ride height adjustable and the bounce and rebound rate can be set by means of an easily adjustable knob on the side of the damper body.
All units are available with bearings, as shown, and bonded or polyurethane bushes.
You might not own one of the few Lotus Type 47 models that are still around, but whatever you drive, be assured that, if it has tubular dampers, GAZ can probably build a set of adjustable, uprated GP dampers just for you.

GAZ often gets asked to produce adjustable suspension for unusual vehicles, especially when even the standard replacement dampers are hard to find.
Recently it was asked to produce a fully adjustable suspension kit for a Honda Acty 4×4 Van. With the first custom made set produced, the kit has now been added to the company’s inventory in case other customers require a similar set.
The Honda Acty started off as a bit of an oddity; it was produced to fit into a tax bracket that was unique to Japan. However, the mini-truck/van soon became popular and was exported to the UK, North America and Australia and in 1983 a 4×4 version was introduced.
With 4×4 capability and small dimensions the 4×4 Acty has real ‘go anywhere’ potential. By adding a GAZ GHA Suspension Kit you can really explore that potential to the maximum.
GAZ dampers provide bump/rebound adjustability at the twist of a knob to cope with differing terrain, loading and driving styles. The front coilovers are adjustable to allow the ride height to be altered for off road or ‘highway’ use. The suspension spring’s rate can also be specified so as to suit the intended use of the Acty.
GAZ dampers are gold passivated or black plated and come with a durable plastic sleeve that will protect the dampers and keep them looking good and working well for long into the future.
All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.
GAZ GHA kit for the Honda Acty can be ordered as part number GHA537 and retails at £505.86+VAT
