Effective heat insulation is essential with any downdraft carburettor installation.
If heat is allowed to rise through the manifold and reach the carburettor, it is likely that heat soak will occur, which will lead to poor hot starting.
Webcon is therefore delighted to announce the introduction of its own range of carburettor heat insulators.
Superbly produced, using the latest laser cutting technology to ensure outstanding levels of accuracy, the new range is manufactured entirely in the UK and is available for the following models of Weber carburettor:

Webcon has just introduced a new inlet manifold to allow a pair of Weber DCOE carburettors or DCOE style throttle bodies to be installed on the popular Ford Duratec engine.
Webcon designed the new manifold and CNC manufactured it from billet aluminium to have a thickness of just 35mm from face to face; this makes it ideal for transverse engine installations such as the Lotus Elise Duratec transplant.
However, when used with Webcon’s 32mm manifold extenders, the depth jumps to 67mm making it equally perfect for rear wheel drive installations where a longer intake allows for greater mid range torque.
MM5060 Manifold is available at £538.74 plus VAT MSK0014 Twin extender kit is available at £199.01 plus VAT

If you are rebuilding or modifying a Mini (or other A Series) engine be aware that some, so called, ‘genuine Rover gasket sets’ can be poor in quality and may have incorrect parts.
The problem has been so significant that Mini Spares decided to put together its own correct gasket set. The original Payen gaskets served as a template, but modern KLINGER super gasket material (as used on some parts of the MPI twin point injection engines) has been used.
This dual-fit, multi-piece selection of KLINGER upgraded engine block gaskets will fit any early or A-Plus engine. They are suitable for road or race and will boost the longevity of your classic Mini.
The kit includes two rubber tappet chest cover seals (as fitted to some Minis from 1966).
MPI owners will find they have lots of extra gaskets over, but this set is more than £5.00 cheaper than the original Rover MPI set. The Mini Spares kit can be ordered as part number GUG701614CS and retails at just £46.80 inc. VAT.

The standard coil that came with classic Minis can only do so much. When compression is raised (as in most high performance engines) or improper fuel mixtures occur something more robust is needed.
Mini Spares has the answer with the Lucas DLB105 coil from the company’s Authentic Classic Range. This coil is a big improvement over the stock version and is a direct replacement. However, it must be noted that it can only be used on Minis up to 82/83.
The coil comes with nuts and washers, as well as one single spade and two double spade connectors.
The Mini Spares kit can be ordered as part number DLB105 and retails at just £25.20 inc VAT.

In truth, the Lumenition Performance Optronic electronic ignition isn’t a new product. It has been around for quite a few years now. So much so, that younger classic car enthusiasts may not be aware of it nor the many advantages it offers a classic car driver.
It is suitable for all engines with a mechanical distributor that uses a single ignition coil – so pretty universal amongst classics. It is especially suited to performance engines up to 12 cylinders and race or rally vehicles. It is recommended for all engines sizes capable of up to a maximum of 8,000 rpm.
The kit replaces the antiquated contact breaker and condenser with Optronic ignition. It needs no maintenance and has no parts to wear out – or breakdown. A vital safety feature on motorways with All Lane Running!
The CEK150 kit from Burton combines the reliability of the Lumenition Optronic ignition system with the Lumenition constant energy coil, which gives a fully saturated spark far higher up the engine rev range than possible with a standard coil. The high output, constant energy ignition coil is electronically matched to a power module which controls the coil current giving: optimum performance across the speed and voltage range and ensures maximum coil spark energy at all times. The control unit also provides a variable dwell angle, to prevent low speed coil overheating and an automatic switch off to prevent coil damage if the ignition is left on.
In addition to eliminating fragile contact breakers or capacitors the CEK150 Kit also offers:
Easier starting and higher engine revving
Faster, smoother acceleration
Reduced exhaust emissions
Improved fuel economy Order as part number CEK150 retail at £348.95 inc. VAT. This kit contains a power module, coil and optronic eye. In order to fit the eye to the distributor, a dedicated distributor fitting kit for the particular make and model must also be purchased.
