This is the latest model fuse box as used on all Minis after 1976 and all MG Midget/Sprites with the 1275cc engine.

It is simple and easy to replace or upgrade from the earlier version. This box has the advantage of having four fuses in place of the earlier version that only had two. Later model cars used the extra fuses for accessories. If you are upgrading from the two fuse type you can spread the load or add accessories or simply keep as spares!
(Fuses are not included but are also available from Mini Spares).

The original fuseboxes that were fitted by Rover from 1976 on are no longer obtainable. There are many cheap copies available but MiniSpares resolved the problem by remanufacturing the fuse box themselves. The result is the real thing and the only choice for the discerning classsic owner.

Order as part number RTC440A at £6.30 inc VAT

Lost your fuse box cover? Mini Spares can supply a cover on its own as part number 518995A at £3.60 inc VAT.

These stubby little fellas are just what you need if you plan to drop your T4 down in the weeds.

Leading suspension specialists GAZ now offers these uprated, adjustable dampers that have been specially designed for seriously lowered VW T4 Transporters.

The dampers are bump and rebound adjustable and can be quickly adjusted by means of an easily accessible single knob on the side of the damper.

The dampers are built to the same standards as the ones that GAZ builds for race and rally use – so although your T4 may only be used on the road or on an occasional cross country excursion across a camp site the dampers will be more than able to cope.

The zinc plated body and the tough, flexible sleeve will also ensure that they are adequately protected from any grit, mud and dirt that may be thrown their way in the process.

All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.

The GAZ GT EXTRA LOW dampers for VW T4 Transporter can be ordered as part numbers….
GT7-5088L Front
GT7-5089XL Rear
…and retail at 67.28 each plus VAT.

GAZ dampers come with some of the best anti-corrosion finishes on the market and GAZ Gold coilovers are finished with a black zinc plating to ensure that they remain corrosion free well into the future. However, GAZ recognises that although they may be protected against corrosion they can still get clogged with mud, dirt and dust; this can hinder adjustment, as well as making it an unpleasant job.

Now GAZ is offering a simple solution in the form of durable fabric covers, available in three sizes to fit all GAZ dampers and coilovers.

The covers are simple to fit with a velcro-type fastening and will protect your dampers from anything nature and a jet washer can throw at them. They will keep dirt, grit and debris out of the workings of your dampers and keep coilover height adjuster threads clean and clog-free.

The covers come in classic GAZ Blue with a GAZ Shocks logo as proof of authenticity and to let the world know what’s inside.

Available in 250mm, 300mm and 350mm lengths at £28.50 plus VAT per pair.

The two great benefits of GAZ dampers are that they can be built to the customer’s own specification and that they are fully adjustable. A set of dedicated trackday dampers for a BMW 535 isn’t something you’d be likely to buy off the shelf, but recently GAZ Shocks was asked to produce just such a set. Following production of the original order the application has now been added to the GAZ range.

The dampers are adjustable for both bump/rebound rate and ride height. The damper rate can be adjusted on the car by means of an adjuster knob. Ride height can be varied by -25mm to -50mm..

All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory and covered by a two year warranty for non-competition use.

GAZ dampers for the E28 and E34 can be ordered as GP8-4769 and retail at £102.64+VAT each. The dampers come with an adjustable spring platform, but are supplied without springs due to the variety of possible specifications. GAZ can advise on the correct spring for the intended purpose when ordering and then provide them at a reasonable cost.

Replacement dampers for a 1951 Alvis isn’t the sort of thing that you’re likely to find in your local motor accessory shop. However, it is something that GAZ can make for you – and the dampers are bump and rebound adjustable too.

GAZ recently supplied a set of fully adjustable GT dampers for a 1951 Alvis which means that is yet another application that has been added to the extensive GAZ data base and is available just in case a customer should come along with a similar requirement. GAZ can also provide adjustable telescopic dampers for most applications. All that the engineers need is a set of dimensioned plans or an original damper to work from.

GAZ dampers can be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style and can be altered by means of an easily accessible knob on the side of the units.

GAZ can set the dampers up for general road use but they will also be suitable for occasional track slalom and sprint use, or alternatively they can even be set up for serious racing use if you wish.

GAZ dampers feature a zinc plated body and protective plastic sleeve to keep them looking good and working well on your historic car for long into the future. All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.

The GAZ GT dampers for a 1951 Alvis or similar would typically retail from £67.32 each plus VAT and, if the customer prefers, they can be supplied in a classic black finish for a small extra charge.

If you are looking for improved performance from your 1ZZ-FE powered Celica or MR2 then a Fidanza lightweight flywheel is the way to go. The Fidanza design team doesn’t simply take a stock flywheel and copy it out of aluminium as do some others. Fidanza actually analyzes the originals and make engineer improvements where necessary to improve overall balance, critical clearances and design. In all aspects Fidanza flywheels are built for performance.

Fidanza’s aluminium flywheels are made from the highest quality 6061 T6 aluminum for superb tensile strength, incredible heat dissipation and (of course) a reduction in weight that delivers: faster acceleration, quicker throttle response, better vehicle braking and increased clutch efficiency, as well as long lasting durability.

A Fidanza flywheel can mate with many types of clutch material, including: organic Kevlar, ceramic, metallic and sintered iron. Most companies design their flywheels so that they can be refaced. However, Fidanza makes the whole friction surface (shown in its green protective delivery coating in the image) replaceable so your flywheel will never require resurfacing or total replacement. When the friction surface wears, that alone needs to be replaced, thus saving both time and money. The pattern for the fasteners is a computer design that keeps the friction surface from warping under extreme use. Fidanza doesn’t just use more fasteners because they can, Fidanza uses them because they are needed.

Flywheel 130231 will fit the following models with the 1ZZ-FE engine:
TOYOTA CELICA – 140bhp, ZZT230, TOYOTA MR2 Roadster Mk3.

EnduroKA is a new endurance series for 2019 which offers a competitive, cost effective way to enjoy the thrill of team endurance racing.

The EnduroKA is run and managed by MSVT, and has already proved to be successful with over fifty cars currently in build and the first two rounds featured great grids.
Whether you’re a novice first time racer or an established competitor/Karter looking for a new challenge, EnduroKa has plenty to offer with its Great Circuits, Close Racing, High Driving Standards and more grin factor than any other UK endurance series. You just can’t fail to be smiling when you get out of a racing KA!

Preparing a car yourself would involve spending only £6,000-£7,000 including buying the donor. Split that between four drivers and that’s one cheap race car! Alternatively there are several teams that can build ‘Race ready’ vehicles.

There is very little to change on a racing KA and all the Burton supplied ‘Control parts’ are IN STOCK and AVAILABLE now for UNDER £2,000!
So what’s stopping you?
