Weber 32/36 DGAV and 38 DGAS carburettors are used on millions of cars around the world; they combine the reliability and power of Weber with the convenience of a water operated automatic choke.

Over time the efficiency of the bi-metallic unit can deteriorate. This leads to starting problems and poor choke performance. The housing can also corrode if the engine’s antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor have not been correctly maintained.

Now, the choke units on these popular carburettors can be renovated using the new Webcon CRK003 choke overhaul kit.

The Webcon CRK003 choke overhaul kit contains 100% genuine Weber parts including a bi-metallic unit, a die-cast water jacket and all the ancillary parts required for fitting.

The Webcon CRK003 choke overhaul kit will enable Weber 32/36 DGAV and 38 DGAS owners to return their car’s cold starting to original levels of performance.

CRK003 is priced at £80.88 plus VAT.

Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world.

Mini Spares has commissioned the manufacture of a new brake master cylinder with a 0.75” bore and a period-correct flat top outlet rather than the current pointed type.

The brake fluid pipe goes directly into the flat top rather than to the original troublesome union (which is no longer available).

The larger bore is also ideal for cars with 4 pot brake calipers or other performance modifications which demand more fluid and pressure.

The new 0.75” bore master cylinder can be ordered as part number GMC153 at £150.76 inc VAT.

Also, to complement the pre 1964 flat top tank design, Mini Spares has made clutch (AAU4969FLAT) and brake (GMC172FLAT) master cylinders.

Conventional rocker arms tend to produce sideways movement in the valve stems which causes high levels of friction and subsequent wear to both the stems and valve guides. However, the wear can be prevented by replacing the standard rockers with roller-rockers; their strong arm construction and the presence of large, low friction needle roller bearings virtually eliminates the undesirable sideways movement.

The standard lift Burton Roller Rocker Assembly for the Ford Kent engine can be ordered as part number FP229K at £500.00 inc. VAT.

The roller rocker assembly is suitable for all Ford Kent engines, but an alloy rocker cover will be required for clearance. The Burton FP227 or FP227P RED Alloy Rocker Covers would be ideal.

The roller rocker assembly is suitable for Kent engines used in:

• Ford Capri Mk1 1.3/1.6 1969-1974, Mk2/Mk3 1.3 1974-1987
• Ford Cortina Mk2 1.3/1.6 07/67-1970, Mk3 1.3/1.6 1970-1976, Mk4/Mk5 1.3 1976-1982
• Ford Escort Mk1 1.1/1.3/1.6 Mexico 1968-1974, Mk2 1.1/1.3/1.6 1975-1980
• Ford Fiesta Mk1 1.3 Supersport/1.6 XR2 1980-1983
• Caterham 7
• Morgan 4/4 1600 1.6 1968-on
