Webcon now offers a superior quality upgrade kit to fit twin Weber 40DCOE carburettors to the classic Mercedes 190SL
The kit includes: • A pair of suitably jetted genuine Weber 40DCOE carburettors • Rubber mounts • Air box mounting kit PME201AFK • New linkage rods
This is the finest Weber kit on the market for the Mercedes 190SL. Order as part number PME201 at £1,195.00 plus VAT.
To achieve the best result from this conversion, the stock manifold will either need to be modified internally to suit the Weber DCOEs, or, alternatively, replaced with Webcon’s manifold MG9436.
Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world. For further details contact Webcon UK on +44 (0)1932 787100 or visit www.webcon.co.uk
To complement its recently reintroduced twin Weber 40DCOE kit for the Mercedes 190SL, Webcon has also reintroduced its manifold package to suit these carburettors.
This manifold removes the need to internally modify the stock manifold to suit the Webers making the conversion a simple bolt-on fitment. The original parts can thus be kept unmodified should a future owner wish to convert the car back to factory specification.
The manifolds, complete with fitting kit, can be ordered as part number MG9436 and retail at £569.06 plus VAT.

Webcon now manufactures a heat shield for use on the Weber DCOE and DCO/SP range of carburettors.
On non-crossflow engines the carburettors are directly above the exhaust manifold. When exhaust heat rises up it can cause fuel handling problems in sidedraft carburettors. The new Webcon Heat Shield helps alleviate these problems by deflecting the heat around the carburettor.
The new Webcon Heat Shield is superbly made in the UK from 1.6mm stainless steel and is stamped with the Webcon logo to easily distinguish it from the thinner, less effective copies on the market.
The new Webcon Heat Shield can be ordered as part number 9990398700 and retails at £20.31 plus VAT. One heat shield is required per carburettor

Leading suspension specialist GAZ has offered GAZ Gold coilover suspension kits for the BMW Mini Cooper and Cooper S for quite some time but now 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 while 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 covered by a two year warranty.

Ford’s Sixth Generation Fiesta ST was announced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012. When the facelifted Fiesta ST was introduced into North America for the 2014 model year it became part of Ford’s Global B-car program. The ST’s 1.6-litre EcoBoost turbocharged engine puts out 182 PS (134 kW; 180 hp) with 177 lb⋅ft (240 N⋅m) of torque and up to 200 PS on overboost for a maximum of 15 seconds. That’s a lot of power for a small car, but there’s even more availble by changing to a Fidanza Aluminium Flywheel.
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 – there is no need to replace the 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 Ford Focus ST can be ordered as part number 186161 and retails at USD$434.27 plus shipping and tax.

Burton Power now has a basic RWD conversion kit to install a Zetec E 1.8/2.0 engine into an Escort Mk1 or Mk2 (or Escort based kit car). The kit suits both Silver Top and Black Top engines including the ST170. THE CONVERSION KIT CONTAINS Engine mounts to fit original crossmember – the mounts will line up with bolt holes on the Zetec block to correctly position the engine.
Alloy wet sump pan kit – the original FWD sump will not clear the crossmember.
