Many classic car owners are confused about which anti freeze they should use.

Should it be Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT), Organic Acid Technology (OAT), or Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT)?

Should it be green, blue or pink?

Mini Spares has taken the guesswork out of choosing the right antifreeze by producing its own Mini Spares brand antifreeze which is suitable for ALL classic Minis.

It can be left in the radiator all year round as it is also a summer coolant and contains rust inhibitors to protect your Mini’s cooling system.

If you’re interested, it also conforms to ASTM D3306, ASTM D4985, SAE J1034 and BS 6580-2010. All you really need to know though is that it’s right for classic Minis and all ‘A’ Series engines and costs just £4.14 per litre – which is cheaper than most other brands on the market.

Mini Spares is constantly introducing parts for classic Minis to replace those that are no longer available. The reversing light switch for 3 and 4-synchro gearboxes (except for rod change types which Mini Spares can also cater for) is a case in point. However, it should be noted with caution that there are other ‘replacements’ on the market. Some of these even bear the same GAE131 part number but have the wrong thread and plunger sizesize; these errors can causes seizure, closure or jamming of the switch!

Using the Mini Spares part will ensure the correct functional switch and Mini Spares can help also if you are unsure or need additional items to go with the switch such as: the required 3cm spring (2A3647) and insulating fibre washer and small plug (22G351) in the gearbox. These are needed to activate the switch.

The Mini Spares GAE131 Reversing Light Switch retails at just £30.00 inc. VAT So, there is no reason to go for dubious alternatives.

Most readers will already be aware of Goodridge stainless steel braided brake hoses. The benefits of fitting them are also well known and include the virtual elimination of line swell with the consequential increase in pedal stiffness and feel. What isn’t as well known is the extent of the range now available for classic Fords from Burton Power.

Burton’s website lists all the popular classic Ford applications. These include all models of Capri, Escort, Fiesta and Focus along with many of the less popular models for performance upgrades, such as Granada and Mondeo.

For some applications there is the option to specify stainless steel fittings instead of the standard zinc plated fittings.

Certain kits are also available in an optional classic black finish. This resembles the look of original rubber hoses but provides the benefits of modern stainless steel braided hose. Available applications include Cortina, Capri and early Fiesta and Escort models.

Prices start at £80.98 for a three line kit for Cortina Mk1 and 2 rising to £193.98 for six line kits with stainless fittings for Focus RS and Sierra Cosworth. (Prices include VAT).

The ‘English’ crown wheel & pinion was commonly found in classic rear-wheel-drive cars such as the Ford Angila 105E, Escort Mk1/Mk2, Cortina, and various kit cars as well as the classic Lotus Elan.

For owners requiring a replacement or seeking an alternative ratio, Burton Power now has the answer. Lower ratios (e.g., 3.54:1) offer a higher top speed and lower cruising RPMs for better fuel economy. Higher ratios (e.g., 4.125:1 to 5.29:1): deliver superior acceleration, making them ideal for rallying, sprinting, or hill climbs.

Burton, in close collaboration with Quaife, has now sourced a manufacturer who is also an OEM supplier to many major brands and who uses the latest Gleason CNC machinery to ensure the highest quality standards. This has enabled Burton to offer gear sets that are individually lapped together to ensure optimum meshing quality. After an exacting hardening process, the gears are finally treated to a manganese phosphate surface coating which forms a long lasting anti-corrosion shield, which gives enhanced lubricity, and protects against abrasion.

Burton Power can supply replacement gear sets for all English axles including those on rarer models such as the Consul 315, Consul Capri, Corsair & Corsair V4, Prefect 107E and Lotus Elan 1962-74.

Various ratios are available from 3.77:1 to 5.29:1. All sets retail at £300 each inc. VAT.
