The summer’s here and the time is right for cruising down to the beach in a cool pick up with a couple of surf boards in the back. But to be really cool your truck needs the right stance. Sure VW Caddys (AKA Rabbit Pickup in some markets) can use the same front dampers and springs as Golfs soit’s no problem finding lowered parts for the front, but how about the rear? Now GAZ can supply uprated dampers for the rear of VW Caddys that can not only handle the load but also be supplied either for stock ride height or as a short body version suitable for use with a flipped axle lowering procedure.

GAZ dampers can be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style by means of an easily accessible knob on the side.

GAZ can set the dampers up with valving 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 zinc plated body for longevity and a plastic cover to protect the body from mud, stones and dirt.

All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a 2 year warranty

GAZ rear dampers for the VW Caddy pick-up and van can be ordered as part number GT6-5263 and retail at £57.80 each plus VAT.

Stock height or lowered adjustable front dampers are also available from GAZ Shocks.

GAZ is pleased to announce that it can now offer a GAZ Gold Coilover Kit for the iconic Datsun Z cars – the 240Z and 260Z.

The kit includes adjustable coilovers for the front and rear. Ride height is adjustable through 60mm of adjustment. The height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.

Damping rates are also variable by means of an adjuster knob on the damper bodies. The GAZ Gold range is designed primarily for out and out racing so each comes with a gas cell in the reservoir filled with a high viscosity index multi grade oil to prevent cavitation and reduce fade under harsh racing and trackday conditions.

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

GAZ Gold Coilover Kits for Datsun 240Z/260Z can be ordered as part number GGA-240Z for the 240Z and GGA-260Z for the 260Z. Both retail at £1386 plus VAT.

The C3 was the third generation Corvette, ; it was based on the Mako Shark project car and kept remarkably close to the development vehicle’s styling. For the first few years of its
production the C3 also carried over the previous model’s “Stingray” tag. It might have been cutting edge in its day but now there’s room for improvement, particularly in the suspension department.

Fitting GAZ dampers to a classic car enables the damping rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style by means of an easily accessible knob on the side.

GAZ can set the dampers up with valving 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 zinc plated body for longevity and a plastic cover to protect the body from mud, stones and dirt.

All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a 2 year warranty

GAZ GT Rear Dampers for the Corvette C3 now have a GAZ part number – GT7-5424- and can be made to order at £64.10 each plus VAT. Fronts can also be made to order.

GAZ can produce custom made dampers for many other rare classics by working from either the original specifications or the original dampers. Price is dependent on application.

downdraught carb.

All aluminium radiators will corrode due to contact with water and although the corrosion of alloys is not as obvious as the rusting of steel or iron it still has the potential to cause problems in time.

Fortunately there is a simple solution to the problem; that uses the naturally occurring electrochemical potential difference between different metallic elements to provide protection.

Put simply, by including a metal that corrodes more easily than aluminium in the cooling system the corrosion potential of the aluminium is reduced, bringing it closer to an immune state.

This can be achieved by fitting a zinc sacrificial anode in to the cooling system. Aeroflow’s zinc sacrificial anode is basically a rod of zinc mounted in a threaded bolt that can be screwed into the drain hole of the aluminium radiator or inserted via a threaded weld-on collar. Because zinc is more electrically negative than aluminium it will corrode in preference to the aluminium radiator. Obviously the anode will require replacing eventually but it’s far cheaper than a new radiator!

The Aeroflow Zinc Sacrificial Anode Plug Cooling System Solution – to give it its full name – can be ordered as part number AF49-2500. It features a 1/4” NPT thread which will fit some radiator drain holes, but if your radiator uses a different size the Aeroflow AF998-04D Aluminium Weld-on Collar can be used instead. Retail price for the Anode is £14.39 incl. VAT and the collar is £3.59 incl. VAT.
