The Ford Duratec engine has proved popular with tuners and kit car builders alike and almost all conversions use throttle bodies or Weber DCOE carburettors. For years Webcon has supplied a regular intake manifold, but in some instances space is at a premium and it is not possible to use the standard 75mm manifold.

Webcon now produce a manifold, part number MM5060, that is just 35mm deep so will facilitate fitment of carburettors or throttle bodies to installations where space is limited.

MM5060 is superbly CNC manufactured from Billet Aluminium, is available from stock and is priced at £363 plus vat.

Amazingly, in this digital age, there are still some classic Mini owners who are still using contact breaker ignition, possibly for reasons of orignality. Now Mini Spares can offer a ‘Fixed Point’ electronic ignition conversion that it fits entirely inside the stock distributor cap!.

All previous ignition kits utilized an extremal black box, not the sort of thing you want under the bonnet of your standard-looking engine compartment! No such problem with the new Pertronix Ignitor electronic ignition conversion kit and once you’ve install the magnetic trigger and sensor, you will never have to change points again!

The other benefit is the system’s low price of just £113.50 incl. VAT for this ‘fit and forget’ ignition system. Part number LU1423A is suitable for 43D, 45D and 59D negative earth distributors.

The classic Bristol 405 has now become quite a rare beast. So rare, in fact, that it doesn’t appear in the GAZ catalogue. That didn’t pose a problem for GAZ though when a customer requested a set of fully adjustable rear dampers for a 405. Armed with all of the technical data GAZ proceeded to custom build a set and now that they have the specification GAZ can reproduce them for other Bristol 405 owners too.

GAZ dampers enable the damping rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style 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 dampers feature a zinc plated body for longevity and a plastic cover to protect the body from mud, stones and dirt.

All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a 2 year warranty

GAZ GT Rear Dampers for the Bristol 405 now have a GAZ part number – GT7-5173 – and can be made to order at £64.10 each plus VAT. Fronts can also be made to order.

GAZ can produce custom made dampers for many other rare classics by working from either the original specifications or the original dampers. Price is dependent on application.

The BMW Z3 is fast becoming a true classic and the larger engined models are particularly prized. To further improve their performance Fidanza Performance can supply a performance lightweight aluminium flywheel (Fidanza part# 161081) for use on the 2.5 (‘99-’02), 2.8 (1999) and 3.0 (‘01-’02) BMW Z3.

Like all premium Fidanza aluminium flywheels, this model is constructed of 6061 T6 aluminium for optimum weight reduction and tensile strength, that delivers faster acceleration, quicker throttle response, better vehicle braking, increased clutch efficiency, and long lasting durability.

This flywheel is built tough! It features a precision machined Rockwell hardened ring gear as well as Fidanza’s signature replaceable friction surface, so it will never require resurfacing or total replacement. When the friction surface wears, just replace that alone, thus saving both time and money.

Designed and engineered to make the Z3 even more fun to drive, this flywheel frees up additional horsepower to the wheels and delivers the added excitement and performance Z3 owners will love! Because of BMW’s tendency to use parts across their model range this part will also fit BMW X5 3.0 (‘01-’02), 530i (‘01-’02), 528 (‘98-’00), 330i (‘01-’02), 328 (‘99-’00), 325i (‘01-’02) and 323i (‘99-’00).

Most of us are all too familiar with the sound of a metallic rattling coming from under a vehicle. All too often it’s the catalytic converter shield hanging off and dragging on the road.

Catalytic converters are expensive to replace so the shield is important. If your vehicle doesn’t have a CAT shield or it is rusting away DEI offers an easy and less expensive solution, a universal-fit catalytic converter shield.

Catalytic converters get extremely hot and without a shield a vehicle is vulnerable to oil or grease landing on the converter creating a fire risk. Parking on dry grass or leaves is another fire risk that could potentially destroy your vehicle!.

Replacing a factory or OE catalytic converter shield can be a problem since most are welded in place or have bolts that hold the shield in situ and often those bolts are rusty and difficult to remove.

DEI provides a simple and easy to install alternative. DEI’s universal catalytic converter shields can be formed to the contour of catalytic converters and the shield is held in place by the use of two 34” wormdrive style clamps. It’s that easy.

DEI Universal Catalytic Converter Shield – order as part number 011003 $24.47 plus shipping and import tax.

FoMoCo chooses Quaife!
Ford Motor Company’s choice of Quaife to supply its LSD for all three generations of the Focus RS, as well as approving Quaife’s Fiesta and Focus ST products as aftermarket parts, is the perfect endorsement of the pedigree and quality of Quaife’s products. The new 2018 Fiesta ST will be offered with a Quaife ATB as a factory option and Quaife are to supply over 4000 ATBs for the Mk3 Focus RS Edition.

…and Quaife chooses Burtons!
Quaife has selected a few of its highest selling Ford aftermarket units to be made at its OEM rate of 100 per day. Due to Burton’s Ford speciality, purchasing capacity and long standing relationship with Quaife, it has been selected as the exclusive partner to market these Ford units. These cost savings are being passed on to customers, who will be able to experience these quality, world-renowned products at an even more tempting price point.
This opportunity has come at a perfect time as certain ATBs are being copied in China and sold at cheap prices. Whilst they may look similar, what cannot be seen is that there are differences in tolerances and material specifications; Quaife’s UK based production sites tightly control these factors. There have been reports of the Chinese copies failing within weeks or even days of being installed due to manufacturing shortfalls. Why take a chance on a cheap copy when you can enjoy the real thing for only a fraction more?

Examples:
Quaife Ford English Axle ATB: Was £600, now £420. Burton part QUALSD1.
Quaife Ford Atlas Axle ATB: Was £858, now £480. Burton part QUALSD2.
Quaife Ford Type BC & IB5 FWD Gearbox ATB:  Was £726, now £480. Burton part QUALSD3.
Quaife Ford Sierra 7″ Axle ATB Was £726, now £480. Burton part QUALSD5.
