For Escort RS2000 and any Mk1/Mk2 Escort using an SOHC Pinto Engine

Burton has come to the rescue by making the task of fitting a Pinto SOHC engine into a Mk1 or Mk2 Escort easier by creating a reproduction of the Escort RS2000 Mk1/2 aluminium sump.

The sump kit includes sump pan, baffle, sump mounting bolts, drain plug and washer. Order as part number FT650K at £289.90 inc. VAT

The rod operated throttle linkage has been used to operate Weber and Dellorto side draft carburettors for decades; when installed correctly, it can provide years of trouble free operation.

However, if an external return spring is required, there has never been a simple, elegant and effective solution available apart from the Webcon LT5000. Until now that is….

Webcon is delighted to announce the launch of the LP5700 rod linkage external return spring kit which features a modified 5/16” stop bush and a brand new, custom made return spring. This new kit simply slides over the rod, hooks around the rose joint and pushes into the stop bush, which is then rotated and tightened when the desired return effect is achieved.

LP5700 is suitable for any 5/16” or 8MM rod linkage system, regardless of the carburettors fitted, and is available from stock priced at just £19.85 plus VAT.

The Webcon universal external return kit LT5000 is also available from stock priced at
£31.25 plus VAT

Both LP5700 and LT5000 are manufactured in the UK by Webcon to its usual high standards

Mini Spares has commissioned the manufacture of a new brake master cylinder with a 0.75” bore and a period-correct flat top outlet rather than the current pointed type.

The brake fluid pipe goes directly into the flat top rather than to the original troublesome union (which is no longer available).

The larger bore is also ideal for cars with 4 pot brake calipers or other performance modifications which demand more fluid and pressure.

The new 0.75” bore master cylinder can be ordered as part number GMC153 at £150.76 inc VAT.

Also fits Austin A40 Farina Mk2.

Also, to complement the pre 1964 flat top tank design, Mini Spares has made clutch (AAU4969FLAT- £118.68 inc. VAT) and brake (GMC172FLAT- £118.68 inc. VAT) master cylinders.

Mini Spares is constantly introducing parts to replace Mini items where the originals are no longer available.

The latest introduction is a range of steel pre-formed brake pipes that faithfully reproduce the originals.

The brake pipes are ideal for the perfectionist who wants to restore a Mini to the factory specification but doesn’t want the hassle of trying to bend new pipes to the original shapes.

Several pipes are already available from the Mini Spares website with more planned for introduction soon.

Prices start from as little as £10.80 each including VAT.
