When the renowned Mangoletsi low profile Weber DCOE Throttle Linkage System went out of production in 2021 the availability of low profile linkage options became very limited. Whilst a small number of cheap, imported imitations have surfaced none have come close to the quality of the Mangoletsi unit.

Things have now changed though with the introduction of the new Webcon low profile linkage system. Beautifully crafted by Webcon in the UK, the new Low Profile Linkage System is manufactured from clear anodised billet aluminium to ensure outstanding longevity, looks and adjustability. It will be ideal for anyone installing single or twin Weber DCOE carburettors in a height restricted application.

Linkage system LW4245 is supplied complete with male and female throttle levers and is priced at just £154.88 plus VAT.

Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world.

If you are looking at the image and thinking “I’ve seen a Mini Spares oil filter before” take a closer look.

Note the PREMIUM flash on the side and the different part number.

The standard oil filter is MSF166, but this is part number MSF21 – an upgraded version of the usual Mini Spares oil filter.

This premium version uses an upgraded filter paper compared to standard filters to improve filtration and is based on the much sought after Unipart GFE21 filter.

Of course, we all expect a ‘premium’ product to cost more than the standard version; however, at just £7.49 inc. VAT the premium MSF21 oil filter is hardly going to break the bank – but it might just save your engine.

Mini Spares is renowned for producing parts for classic Minis that are no longer available from original manufactures. However, their latest introduction is not just a reproduction, it’s a complete redevelopment of the original Cooper S block which was made by Morris Motors Coventry.

Over seven years of research and development, hindered by Covid, has gone into this block. All of the blocks are blue printed with areas being strengthened and approximately 20% better cooling is provided by improved water jackets. The standard bore will require honing to suit the pistons being used and can only be increased to plus 60 oversize, (but many race series categories only allow plus 20 oversize).

Core plugs are supplied but not fitted. Oil release valve seating is fitted but the valve, cap and spring are not included. Camshaft bearings will be required and fitted, but holes are line-bored. Special competition steel main caps, bolts and nuts are used for race or road use but visually the block perfectly matches the original, even down to the correct casting numbers.

Webcon is pleased to announce a new fuel pressure regulator for use with carburettors which will reduce high EFi fuel pressure down to low pressure. This reduction allows a more stable high pressure/high flow, EFi type, fuel pump with a swirl pot to supply a carburettor fed engine. The result is a smoother, uninterrupted fuel supply which is less affected by fuel vapour lock or centrifugal forces during cornering, acceleration or braking – all without the need for an ECU or full EFi conversion.

The WFR602 Regulator can also be used with low pressure fuel pumps and is suitable for both normally aspirated or turbocharged applications with carburettor(s).

The pressure setting is variable from 1.5psi to approx 5psi (plus boost if turbocharged).

The WFR602 Regulator can safely be used with E85 alcohol fuel.

The WFR602 Regulator retails at £76.84 plus VAT and comes complete with three 1/8” NPT connectors, mounting bracket and fixings.

What do you do when you are the world’s largest stockist of classic Mini parts and the original Unipart GFE21 oil filter becomes harder and harder to obtain? You produce your own version; and that’s precisely what Mini Spares has done – and in the process it has made the filter better than ever by incorporating a modern upgraded filter paper to improve filtration.

This spin-on filter will fit classic Minis from 1973-1996 (but not the MPi).

The price of this upgraded technology? Just £7.49 inc. VAT. Order as part number MSF21.

This versatile drip tray is also perfect for keeping all the small parts safe whilst rebuilding heads, engines and gearboxes and despite its low profile the tray is deep enough to be used for degreasing parts.

Once you have one, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
