Month: October 2025

Winter is now just a few months away so it’s worth checking that your Mini’s electrics are protected against heavy rain, occasional deep puddles and even compacted snow. Fortunately, Mini Spares has produced a new Distributor Shield made from flexible plastic that protects the Mini’s engine electrics.

The shield comes as a complete kit (although parts are also available separately) including plastic clips, two upper brackets, lower bracket and the plastic cover itself.

Fitting is reletively simple and involves removing the gearbox to engine bolts, connecting the two upper brackets to the rocker cover retaining nuts, and the lower bracket to the gearbox and then replacing the bolts.

Order as part number BHM1675 at £35.75 inc. VAT

Burton Power is pleased to announce a new high efficiency oil pump for classic Ford four cylinder engines with dry sump lubrication. The pump is made for Burton by Titan and is cast in high grade aluminium with an efficient gallery design to keep oil flow at a maximum.

The pump features a 1.125″ long scavenger rotor and a balanced pressure relief valve system that delivers a smooth oil flow without large fluctuations in oil pressure.

Usual fitment of the pump is within 2 metres of the tank. However, by using a larger bore feed hose the pump can even be mounted in the boot if space is limited in the engine bay.
.
The pump is suitable for use on:
Pre Crossflow Ford engines,
Crossflow Kent (including the transverse version used in the Fiesta Mk1 & XR2 models and those fitted to Caterham 7, Morgan 4/4 1600 and TVR 1600M)
Ford Lotus Twin Cam 1558cc (including Lotus Elan, Lotus Europa and Caterham 7
Ford Cosworth BD Series 16v engines.

The pump can be ordered as part number DSE001A at £600 inc. VAT.

Burton Power is pleased to announce that the ATB limited slip differentials made exclusively for Burton by Quaife are now available for numerous front wheel drive Ford applications.

The Quaife ATB is a direct replacement for the standard, factory ‘open’ differential and differs from other LSD units in that it uses gears rather than clutch plates for its operation. To the driver, especially of a front-wheel drive car, the result is significant; the superior traction eliminates the harsh steering wheel snatch or torque steer that have long been associated with performance differentials.

The Quaife ATB helical gear limited slip differential provides a safe, progressive, seamless action, and never ‘locks’. Controlled power is transmitted to all driven wheels to maximise traction and minimise wheel spin, particularly in slippery conditions.
The differential eliminates unwanted understeer or oversteer and works in harmony with the factory OEM electronic stability programmes. It also improves braking performance by reducing braking lock ups and minimises ABS intrusion. Being gear operated there are no clutch plates to replace – ever!

The Burton/Quaife QUALSD3 differential is a direct fit to Ford Escort, Fiesta, Focus 1.4/1.8, Ka, Puma and ST150 and retails at £616.00 inc. VAT.
