The right hand ‘A’ panel on classic Minis is probably one of the most common panels to be replaced.

Its position just behind the front wheels and being composed only of single thickness makes it partcularly prone to rust. Even the orginal factory replacement panels are not immune, and can soon develop rust spots.

Mini Spares can provide an upgraded A panel with increased thickness for prolonged life and strength that is easy to fit.

This panel has already become a big favourite with local bodyshops and restorers. An added advantage is that more than a tenner cheaper than the genuine replacement!. Some customers have also reported that it reduces body noise and vibration at high speed.

The upgraded R/H ‘A’ panel is suitable for all Minis with internal hinges from 1970 onwards. Order as part number ALA5660MS at £21.60 inc VAT.

(If originality is your thing, Mini Spares can also supply genuine Mini ‘A’ panels as part number ALA5660 at £31.80 inc. VAT)

The four cylinder Porsche 912 was produced between 1965 and 1969 as their entry-level model and became one of the most famous and successful sports cars of all time. The Targa version (Porsche’s patented variation of a cabriolet) ran from December 1966 (Series A) and was upgraded to a hard window Targa in 1968 (Series B). It may have been entry level but it’s still an exciting and desirable car today; to help bring its handling up to date, GAZ now offer GT fully adjustable rear dampers for both versions.

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

GAZ can set the dampers up 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 plated body and 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 GT rear dampers are available for Series A Targas (9/1965-8/68) as part number GT7-2196 and for Series B models (9/68-69) as part number GT7-2194. Both retail at £76.29 each + VAT.

The Jaguar XK120 was manufactured by Jaguar between 1948 and 1954. Inevitably, suspension technology has moved on since those days and GAZ now offers a modern bump and rebound adjustable damper to enhance the torsion bar front suspension of the XK120.

GAZ can set the dampers up for general road use, but 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.

Customers have been asking GAZ Shocks for even more control in the set up of its dampers and GAZ has duly responded with the development of double adjustable dampers.

GAZ fully adjustable dampers enable the damping bump and rebound rates to be separately adjusted to suit the individual track conditions and personal driving style. The rates can be altered by means of two dedicated knobs on the side of the units; both are easily accessible and clearly marked and colour coded for BUMP and REBOUND.

The dampers are available as dampers alone, or as coilover height adjustable units with springs.

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

The dampers can be made to order to the required length and with the appropriate top and bottom fixing points for specific applications. Appropriate springs can be supplied to suit the intended use.

Price according to specification.

In 1972, due to tightening emissions regulations, the Boss 351 edition and optional 429 big block engines were dropped from the Mustang range, leaving the 351 cu. in. as the largest available engine for the 1972 and 1973 year models. However, a Fidanza lightweight aluminium flywheel will go some way to adding more performance to the last of the original ‘pony cars’, the 1972-73 Ford Mustang.

A Fidanza lightweight flywheel is simple to install when the clutch is replaced and will bring the following benefits:

• Faster throttle response and quicker acceleration
• Additional horsepower to the wheels (reduced parasitic losses)
• Smoother, faster shifting
• Easier braking, better slowing (due to reduced rotational mass)
• Reduced clutch wear and improved efficiency (from better heat dissipation)
• Cost savings and longevity (thanks to Fidanza’s replaceable green friction plate – no need
to replace entire flywheel when worn)
• Potential for increased fuel economy (if you can keep your foot off the gas!)
• Quality and reliability (made in the USA from top grade materials)

A Fidanza lightweight flywheel for the 1972-73 Ford Mustang (Base model and Grande) can be ordered as part number BJCJ-186511 and retails at USD$483.04 plus shipping and tax.

The Mazda MX-5 (NC) was the third generation of the Mazda MX-5 manufactured from 2005 to 2015 so, by now many will be in need of some updating and restoration. The factory heat shield around the transmission may be damaged or even missing and replacing the factory heat shield involves removing the transmission.

However, DEI has a far simpler remedy. The DEI MX-5 (Miata) Transmission Tunnel Heat Shield Kit is CNC cut into five individual pieces that can be applied and fitted together above the transmission without the need to remove it.

The kit consists of a high-heat resistant material (DEI’s Floor and Tunnel Shield) that is only 3⁄16″ (approx. 5mm) thick for minimal clearance and rated to handle 1750°F (approx. 950°C) of direct heat. Each piece is backed with an aggressive adhesive for a simple peel, position and stick application. Also included are two packets of adhesion promoter, one roll of 1-1⁄2” (38mm) x 15ft (approx. 4.60m) heat reflective sealing tape to cover seams and detailed installation instructions.

The DEI MX-5 Transmission Tunnel Heat Shield Kit will reduce interior heat for a cooler driving experience. Order as part number 10950 at £123.17 plus import tax and delivery.
