Burton Power is pleased to announce that it can now supply silicone coolant hoses for the Ford Cortina-Lotus Mk2. The hoses are made by Samco and come in the company’s trademark blue finish, although other colours are available to special order. (including classic matt black for purists).
The multi layered reinforced construction makes the hoses perfect for replacing old rubber versions. The increased reliability and performance even in the most arduous of conditions is due in part to Samco’s light blue SamTek® lining. All Samco hoses meet, or exceed, the requirements of SAE J20 and are manufactured under an ISO 9002:2000 quality system.
The two hose kit for the Ford Lotus Cortina Mk2 1966-1970 can be ordered as part number TCS-673/C at prices from £55.50 inc. VAT. (Actual price depends on colour chosen).
Available from Burton’s Performance Centre in Essex or by ordering from the Burton Power

Burton Power is proud to announce that it has been appointed as a dealer of the recently launched Powerflex Heritage range of polyurethane bushes for ‘modern classic’ cars from the past thirty years.
The Heritage range uses modern-day materials to enhance the performance, comfort and safety of the modern classic car. Unlike previous bush ranges, each application in the Heritage range has its own shore hardness designation to ensure improved suspension performance without discomfort or vibration. The bushes come in the new subtle ‘Classic’ Dark Grey colour to retain the standard OE look of rubber whilst offering the performance and longevity of polyurethane.
Burton offers Heritage bushes for classic Fords such as the Capri, Escort Mk1/2/3/4 and Cosworth models. Prices are according to application. Please see website for details.

Webcon is pleased to announce that it has just added a five port MGB cylinder head to its range of superlight aluminium cylinder heads.
The Webcon cylinder head has been precision manufactured from lightweight LM25 aluminium to give around a 60% weight saving over the original cast iron head. This material also provides superior heat dissipation qualities and is significantly easier to modify; furthermore, unlike the cast iron head, it will not crack.
Webcon supplies the head with valve guides already fitted and with hardened valve seats to make it suitable for use with unleaded fuel.
The new MGB 5 port aluminium head is available with or without valves and springs as follows:
9900384200AS Assembled with valves and springs £1095.00 plus vat
9900384200 Less valves and springs £939.75 plus vat

‘No longer available’ is a phrase that no classic car owner wants to hear, particularly if the classic in question is a prestigious or rare model. However, when it comes to brake discs that phrase need no longer cause dread because, thanks to the technological advances at TAROX, one-off replacement discs are now readily available. Moreover, their quality is such that they even exceed the original factory specifications!
In mass production brake discs are usually cast and reproducing a mould to cast obsolete discs is an expensive business which needs a substantial production run to cover costs. Producing cast discs for exotic classics such as a Lamborghini Miura is unlikely to be economically viable. Instead, TAROX uses sliced rolled steel billets, which enable the re-creation of any brake disc – even on a one-off basis. Both single piece and two piece bell and rotor replacements can be produced by this method and the finished disc will have more than TWICE the ultimate tensile strength per square millimetre than standard cast brake discs.
Of course a company like TAROX isn’t going to leave it there. Because TAROX can produce individual discs the customer can opt to have a plain disc (TAROX Zero) for original concours looks or drilled or grooved discs for very high braking performance. Furthermore, each and every TAROX disc is subjected to structural stress relieving heat treatment to provide the best performance under all conditions. The treated disc is more stable at extreme temperatures, thus minimising the chances of warping, cracking and fading that may be experienced with standard discs.
Finally, after being machined the surface of each disc is manually ground to a tolerance approaching 0.015mm. This creates a perfectly level surface to ensure that the discs are dimensionally true and thereby improves disc and pad ‘bedding in’. The heat-treatment process is as essential on TAROX bespoke discs as it for its regular cast discs. The heat cycles TAROX applies to the steel ensure it is ready for its long and effective life as a high performance brake disc.
TAROX bespoke discs can be produced for most classic and exotic cars which are not supported in the current TAROX ‘off-the-shelf’ application list of performance brakes. Examples include most Italian ‘supercars’ such as the Lamborghini Miura and Diablo, early Nissan GTR models and low production run vehicles such as the Audi R8. Prices vary according to application but typically start from £669 per pair.

The prestigious AMG models are the performance end of the Mercedes range. However, some AMG owners would like even more in the way of braking performance and durability, but find that their options are very restricted. Thanks to the technological advances at TAROX there is now a realistic alternative. Bespoke high performance drilled and grooved discs are now readily available for AMG models and such is their quality that they even exceed the original factory specifications!
In mass production, brake discs are usually cast and producing a mould is an expensive business which needs a substantial production run to cover costs. Sometimes producing regular cast discs is not an option due to design restrictions and often it is not economically viable for rare low production models such as AMG. Instead TAROX uses sliced rolled steel billets, which enable the production of any brake disc on a short run or even on a one-off basis. Both single piece and two piece bell and rotor replacements can be produced by this method and the finished disc will have more than TWICE the ultimate tensile strength per square millimetre than standard cast brake discs.
Of course a company like TAROX isn’t going to leave it there. Because TAROX can produce individual discs the customer can opt to have drilled discs for lightness or grooved discs to aid the expulsion of surface gasses and dust generated during braking. Furthermore, each and every TAROX disc is subjected to structural stress relieving heat treatment to provide the best performance under all conditions. The treated disc is more stable at extreme temperatures, minimising the chances of warping, cracking and fading that may be experienced with standard discs.
Finally after being machined the surface of each disc is manually ground to a tolerance approaching 0.015mm. This creates a perfectly level surface to ensure that the discs are dimensionally true and thereby improve disc and pad ‘bedding in’. The heat-treatment process is as essential on TAROX bespoke discs as it for its regular cast discs. The heat cycles TAROX applies to the steel ensure it is ready for its long and effective life as a high performance brake disc.
TAROX bespoke discs can be produced for AMG models, including, (but not limited to): A-Class W176, C-Classe W204, CLK-Classe C209, CLS-Classe C218, E-Classe W212, ML W166, SL-Classe R230, SLK-Classe R171 and SLS C-197.
Surprisingly, for a bespoke product, the prices are very competitive ranging from just £669 to £945 per pair (except SLS 55 AMG which uses the OE hubs and retails at £494).

M-Style Sequential Rear Lights for BMW F30 (Pre LCI)
Now you don’t have to buy an Audi to get sequential indicators, because M-Style has released sequential LED tail lights for the BMW F30 (Pre LCI) 3 Series.
The lights have a smoother sequence than the lights we are accustom to seeing on Audis; the M-Style lights flow across the lampface, rather than flicking from one LED to the next, for a totally more classy effect.
M-Style’s new sequential lights are available in a choice of either a standard or smoked finish and they are ‘plug and play’ with no additional coding or alterations to the CAN-BUS system required.
However, should you require it, a fitting service is available at M-Style’s BMW specialist bodyshop in Romford, Essex.
Retail prices per pair: Smoked – £349.00 inc. VAT, Standard – £395.00 inc. VAT. plus fitting if
required.
