Mini Spares has just introduced a new competition valve cotter with a large single groove for early Mini heads.

The cotters are precision CNC machined from 4340 steel and heat treated to a higher specification than EN24T to resist fatigue and make them more durable under race conditions.

The large single groove design provides better location around the valves and make it easier to control spring heights.

The cotters are designed to be used with the original top caps (88G616). They can be used with small single groove top caps (88G617 ), but the cotters will sit about 20 thou higher; this will be fine for standard use.

Order as part number 2A11EVO at £4.75 each inc. VAT.

GAZ Shocks is one of the leading players in the classic car suspension market and is well known for including some surprising applications in its line up. Take the Lancia Flaminia for example. This was Lancia’s flagship model back in the Sixties, but time has moved on and the model is quite rare now. Technology has also moved on so this one-time flagship would now benefit from the superior ride and handling provided by some GAZ GT adjustable dampers.

Fortunately GAZ can offer just such a product – as part numbers GT8 4823 (front) and GT8 4823 (rear)!

GAZ fully adjustable GT dampers enable the damping bump and rebound rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style. Adjustment can be altered by means of an easily accessible knob on the side.

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

GAZ GT dampers feature a zinc plated body and have a protective plastic sleeve to keep them looking good and working well for long into the future.

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

GAZ adjustable dampers for the Lancia Flaminia 1957 – 1970 retail at £76.47 each plus VAT.

GAZ Shocks is now offering a complete suspension kit for the latest Ford Focus ST. The kit provides height and damper rate adjustment and competition quality performance.

GAZ damper units allow damping adjustment whilst on the vehicle by means of easily accessible adjuster knobs on the body of the damper.

Shortened body and stroke lengths allow a -25 to -55mm ride height variation with a coarse acme form thread provided for easy adjustment. Coilover struts are provided for the front with adjustable spring platforms for the rear.

Each unit is plated in Classic Black Zinc to minimise corrosion and to ensure that the height adjusters will go on working for many years to come.

All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.
GAZ Gold Suspension Kit for the Focus ST can be ordered as GGA-485 and retails at £1024.30 plus VAT.

Leading suspension specialist GAZ has offered GAZ Gold coilover suspension kits for the BMW Mini Cooper and Cooper S for quite some time. However, the company has relaunched the kits with the added benefit of a Black Zinc protective coating.

The new look kits are suitable for street, track day and even outright competition vehicles -especially those that have been subject to extensive power upgrades.

GAZ Gold coilovers are produced with a gas cell in the outer reservoir. This helps prevent cavitation. The units are then filled with a multi grade high viscosity index fluid to help resist fade under extreme conditions.

GAZ Gold units are bump and rebound adjustable whilst on the vehicle by means of an easily accessible adjuster knob. GAZ can produce this kit with ‘road use’ or ‘full race’ valving as required and supply the appropriate springs for the intended purpose.

Ride height is adjustable through 60mm of adjustment and all units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.

Part: GGA425 GAZ Gold Coilover Kit – BMW Mini Cooper 2002-08 RRP £1064.26 plus. VAT.
Part: GGA425S GAZ Gold Coilover Kit – BMW Mini Cooper S 2002-08 RRP £1064.26 plus. VAT.

During braking, accelerating and cornering, oil is forced towards the sides of the sump (known as oil surge).

Under normal driving conditions the surge is within the manufacturer’s limits and is not a problem. However under competition conditions on the track it can be a different story. When there is more power, bigger brakes, stickier tyres and/or competitive driving, oil surge becomes a problem and can eventually lead to oil starvation if the oil pickup is momentarily deprived of oil supply whilst the oil is trying to climb the sides of the sump and block. The result is an expensive engine rebuild.

Burton’s­ modified baffle is designed to keep oil surrounding the pick-up when subjected to more extreme conditions than those for which the stock sump was designed. The baffle plate features a one-way gate that will allow oil movement towards the pickup pipe, but not away from it.

The baffle plate will fit all Burton LHD alloy RS2000 sumps.
Order as part number FT659 at £84.00 inc. VAT.
