Roller tips are probably the most important factor in reducing valve and guide wear when using modern performance cams. Mini Spares has now produced its own Roller Tip Rocker Assembly for 1275cc big bore engines. The assembly features cradle type alloy rocker posts with an increased shaft size to improve rigidity and stronger EN24 adjuster screws with hexagonal head adjustment nuts. The roller tips have a centreless ground finish and the competition thick-wall shaft sits in bronze bushes.

This is the ultimate lightweight alloy valve gear, providing maximum efficiency whilst cutting down side-loading on the valve stems and reducing friction and wear whilst increasing rigidity.

The 1.5 hi-lift keeps valves open approximately 20% more than standard at any given point, although opening and closing periods remain the same. Volumetric efficiency is vastly improved thus increasing power output.

The set can be ordered as part number C-AHT446EVO. It comes with eight rockers, EN24 allen key head adjuster screws and multi point nuts, competition thick-wall shaft and steel pedestals. Complete set retails at £368.20 inc VAT.

Extra rocker cover clearance will be required. Use with FP24 rocker cover or Mini Spares own covers.

for classic Minis and Austin1100/1300 variants

For owners of Minis or Austin 1100/1300 (ADO16) variants wanting their cars to look original, Mini Spares® can provide an original looking metal canister master cylinder with ‘Lockheed’ embossed on the metal can-type brake fluid reservoir.

Speaking of brake fluid, these original-spec metal cylinders must only be used with DOT 4 or 5 hydraulic fluid as originally specified in the vehicle’s hand book/workshop manual. Nothing else, such as racing fluid, is suitable.

Whilst these Mini Spares master cylinders are ‘as original’ in almost every way they are now supplied in a glossy silver colour, not the original gold. This is due to regulations that, since 2007, all products must be free from Hexavalent which resulted in the original gold colour during the plating process.

Mini Spares Metal Clutch Master Cylinders can be ordered as AAU4969 at £70.98 inc VAT each.
Similar versions are available for the Austin 1100/1300 range as GMC1010 at £77.76 each.

The rear wheel drive Skodas, made from 1984 to 1990, may have been the subject of negative jokes due to their dated design and appearance but they actually performed well against more modern cars in the RAC Rally, winning their class for 17 years running.

The rear engine gave them good traction, particularly in snow and loose surfaces. However now GAZ can provide improved handling with adjustable dampers.

GAZ fully adjustable GT dampers enable the damping bump and rebound rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style. They 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 but they will also be suitable for the occasional track slalom and sprint use; alternatively they can even be set up for serious racing use if you so wish.

GAZ dampers feature a zinc 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.

The GAZ GT dampers number GT6-2241 (front) and GT6-2242 (rear) will fit Skodas made from 1984 to 1990 including the: 105S, S120L, 120LS, 120GLS, 130 Rapid Coupé and 130L.

The dampers retail at £60.67 each plus VAT and are available from GAZ dealers worldwide.

The Jaguar S Type was produced from 1964-1966 and was a technically more sophisticated development of the Jaguar Mk 2, which it sold alongside.

It must have made its mark in Jaguar history because it provided the styling cues, and the name, for the later retro-styled S Type which was made from 1999 to 2008.

By now most original S Types will be showing signs of age, particularly in the handling department. GAZ can provide dampers that will not only restore the ride and road holding but offer an upgrade to adjustable damping rates.

The Ford Ranger trucks that we see in the UK and Europe were designed and engineered by Ford Australia, with Mazda offering a similar version as the Mazda BT-50.

GAZ Shocks operate these light trucks themselves so it’s only natural that they have examined the dampers in details and come up with their own adjustable versions of the dampers.

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

GAZ set these dampers up as standard for general road use and cargo hauling but they can even be set up for serious off-road racing if that’s what you’re looking for.

GAZ dampers feature a zinc plated body and protective plastic sleeve to keep them looking good and working well for long into the future.

The Renault Clio 2 172 and 182 Cup models were basically ‘stripped down’ versions of the Clio; they were designed for performance, but at the expense of some sound proofing and some of the more usual ‘comfort’ items.

Naturally these cars appeal to the track day and competition users. With that in mind GAZ has produced two coil-over suspension upgrades available in either GAZ GHA for trackday and fast road or GAZ Gold for outright competition.

On both versions the damper rate can be adjusted by means of an adjuster knob (top adjuster on the GHA and a side knob on the GAZ Gold – shown). Ride height can be varied by -25mm to -50mm.

The Gaz Gold coilovers have a gas cell in the outer reservoir to prevent cavitation. These are also filled with a high viscosity multi grade fluid to help prevent fade under motorsport conditions.

All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory and covered by a two year warranty for non-competition use.

The GAZ coilover kits are suitable for Clio Mk2 172 and 182 Cup models made from 2001 to 2005 and retail at £597.03+ VAT for the GHA kit and £1013.58 + VAT for the GAZ Gold Kit.

The BMW E46 Three Series has now attained the status of ‘modern-classic’ so it’s only fitting that GAZ should provide a GAZ Gold suspension kit to turn this Teutonic Cruiser into a high performing classic racer or track day car.

The kit includes adjustable coilovers on which the ride height can be adjusted through 60mm. The coilovers have a coarse acme form thread for ease of height adjustment and to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.

Damping rates are variable by means of an adjuster knob on the damper bodies.

The GAZ Gold range is designed primarily for out-and-out racing; each comes with a reservoir filled with a high viscosity index multi grade oil to reduce fade and a gas cell to prevent cavitation under harsh racing and trackday conditions. however, springs (included in kit) are supplied to the customer’s specifications according to the vehicle’s intended use – road, road and track and out-and-out race/track day.

Camber adjustable top mounts can also be supplied as an optional extra for race/track vehicles.

All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory. The damper bodies are now finished in the new GAZ black plated coating to shrug off dirt, dust and minor gravel debris.

The GAZ coilover kit for the BMW E46 Three Series includes front and rear dampers and springs and is priced from £1,013.58 + VAT.
Rear fixed top mounts – as shown – available extra: £121.28 per pair.

Fidanza Performance is pleased to announce it has reintroduced its range of lightweight aluminium flywheels for classic Triumphs.

Model Part No.

Spitfire 1975-’80 – 1500cc engine 172151
TR4 1961-’65 (will also fit TR2 & TR3 if TR4 starter is used) 172441
TR4A 1965-’67 172441
TR6 1971-’75 – 2.5 litre engine 172661

The Fidanza aluminium flywheel replaces the heavy standard flywheel and improves the power-to-weight ratio making the engine more responsive thereby improving performance.

The Fidanza aluminium flywheel is made from high-quality machined 6061 T6 aluminium with a 1050 steel friction surface, CNC machined fastener holes and chamfers. The friction surface of the flywheel is a replaceable steel plate, so when the surface eventually becomes worn it can be replaced without the need for a new flywheel. All Fidanza flywheels now come with a distinctive green protective coating on the friction surface.

Fidanza flywheels are suitable for use with just about any clutch disc material available – from organic to Kevlar and even sintered iron. The flywheels are incredibly durable and come with a heat-treated ring gear and military grade fasteners. Fidanza flywheels are equally suited for fast road, trackday and pure competition use.
