Looking for the ideal Christmas present for the petrol head in your life – or maybe they’re not a petrol head, but just like driving? Here’s a great little book to show you loads of hacks and tweaks to make your life in the car easier and more enjoyable. It’s full of little tips like keeping your take-away warm by using the heated seat and preventing it going all over the floor when you go round a corner by installing a simple ‘curry hook’. Did you know you can use olive oil to polish your interior trim or use cat litter to prevent condensation? (it also makes good grit if you’re stuck in snow.)
How about putting a magnet in your shirt pocket so you can keep your spanner handy when working on the car and if you take a photo of the row and level signs in a multi story you’ll never forget where you left your car.
All this and more is in The Haynes Car Hacks Manual. In true Haynes fashion, many of the hacks are written in a step-by-step format allowing anyone to upskill their vehicle with minimal time and effort. It provides comprehensive how-to guides which concentrate on the small touches which can revolutionise the car environment without altering the operation or safety of the vehicle.
Car Hacks is available from www.haynes.com priced at £12.99. The book number is H6651. The ISBN is 9781785216510.
The B-G Racing Hub Stands Kit is the ultimate solution for vehicle set up and geometry alignment.
This advanced and proven system has been designed, developed and precision manufactured in the UK to the highest quality from 6061 T6 Aluminium. It replaces the vehicle’s wheel and tyre set, thereby giving access to carry out a complete suspension and alignment set up. The vehicle does not need to be lifted and the need to roll the vehicle on and off scale pads to unload the suspension after adjustments is eliminated. The changes occur in real time!
With the B-G Racing Hub Stands, set up is faster and more precise. Measurements are repeatable and
accurate instead of fluctuating due to wheel and tyre variations.
Each base features a pair of high load, low resistance roller bearing wheels; these allow the Hub Stands to respond with the vehicle’s suspension as changes are made. The suspension is kept bind-free which, in turn, makes the adjustment process quick and easy and the results of your adjustments are shown instantly.
The B-G Racing Hub Stands are height adjustable to suit different tyre diameters and can be supplied with a variety of multi-drilled plates to suit different vehicle bolt patterns. The interchangeable plates are available in a wide range of configurations including a selection of hubs for many custom applications including centre locking wheels.
Each set of B-G Racing Hub Stands comes with a set of four aluminium Toe Sticks. These have been precisely CNC machined so that they can be bolted parallel to the hub face for stringing or at the bottom of the base for measuring total toe in/out. The Hub Stands are supplied with a set of eight 105mm Toe Stub Extensions; these have been designed to offset the Toe Stick away from the hub so as to clear large brake calipers and grease caps. A set of four stainless steel safety plates to prevent the vehicle from rolling off the scale pads are also included in the kit.
The B-G Racing Hub Stands are suitable for vehicles up to a weight of 2000kg (4400lbs) and retail at £2393.99 inc. VAT

We all know that Rover has had its production problems in latter years and the baulk ring that it produced for the classic Mini – 22G2033 version – is one of them.
Thankfully Mini Spares now makes its own version which is CNC grooved to the correct shape and machined for accurate concentricity. The rings use the original type fixings and are heat treatedin the correct areas. Mini Spares has worked from the original drawings to ensure that the rings have the correct degree of angles and match the quality of the parts that Rover were producing pre millennium.
The baulk ring is now better and cheaper than the current Rover product and Mini Spares uses them itself in its five speed gearboxes.
These remote baulk (synchro) rings slow down the gears to ensure that they mesh without crashing. They have a friction surface that is the first thing to engage with the next gear when shifting. The height that the ring sits proud of the cone surface indicates the amount of wear, but the sensible approach is to replace them whenever the gearbox is overhauled. At just £13.98 each inc. VAT it would be false economy not to do so.
Mini Spares Baulk Rings are sold individually and can be ordered as part number 22G2033EVO.
