The Grantura was produced by TVR from the late Fifties until it was replaced by the Griffith (basically a MkIII Grantura powered by a Ford 289 V8) in 1963.

Production numbers were never high so the numbers surviving are relatively low. However, that doesn’t stop GAZ from offering fully adjustable suspension dampers for the Granturas that are still around today.

The GAZ GHA suspension kit provides ride height adjustability from -25mm to -55mm.

The height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and the damper units are zinc plated to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.

Damper rates are also variable by means of an adjuster knob on the damper body.

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

GAZ lists the following parts for the TVR Grantura (1958 to 1963)
Front dampers – GP6-2282 £92.93 each plus VAT.
Rear dampers – GP6-2283 £92.93 each plus VAT.
Springs £30.00 each plus VAT.

Lightweight alloy flywheels aren’t usually associated with four-wheel-drive SUVs. Traditionally, the thinking was that a 4×4 needs the momentum of a heavy flywheel to keep the engine running when the going gets tough. However modern 4×4 vehicles are designed for comfortable cruising on the highway as well as optimum off road performance, so the old rules no longer apply – providing you get the design right.

Fidanza Performance doesn’t just take a stock flywheel and reproduce it in aluminum as do some others. Fidanza’s technicians carefully analyze the originals and engineer improvements where needed; whether it be in overall balance, critical clearances or improved design.

Fidanza’s flywheels are machined from the highest quality 6061 T6 or 2024 T3 aluminum. Each flywheel is manufactured to deliver optimum tensile strength, heat dissipation and weight reduction, without becoming too light which causes poor idle and driving issues – this can easily happen with an ultra-lightweight flywheel. Thus, Fidanza lightweight flywheels aren’t always the lightest on the market, but they are the best when it comes to getting the job done!

These lightweight flywheels will free additional horsepower, provide faster throttle response and (because they are 40-60 percent lighter than stock) facilitate quicker acceleration.

Other benefits include optimal clutch grip and long life thanks to a heat treated friction plate and military spec. fasteners that ensure reliability and strength. Furthermore, the heat treated friction plate is replaceable so when it finally comes to the end of its long service life you won’t have to buy a complete new flywheel!

Fidanza now offers two lightweight alloy flywheels for the popular Toyota Land Cruiser.
Part number 130081 is for the 1998-2002 Toyota Land Cruiser inline 6 and
Part number 130091 is for the 1989-1992 Toyota Land Cruiser V8.

Fidanza lightweight flywheels for the Toyota Land Cruiser retail at $843.91 for the inline 6 and $582.36 for the V8. Prices are plus shipping and import tax.

DEI has just added heat resistant Knitted Sleeves to its range of Titanium heat protection products.

DEI Titanium Knitted Sleeves are available in two different precut lengths – 12” and 24” (30.48cm and 60.96cm).

The knitted sleeves are designed to fit around and insulate exhaust pipes to prevent the transfer of heat to surrounding components and the passenger compartment.

They are also ideal protection against burns from kit cars and trucks with exposed exhausts.

The Titanium Knitted Sleeves have a maximum temperature rating of 1800oF (approx. 982oC) with a continuous rating of 1382oF (750oC).

The Titanium Knitted Sleeves are designed to fit 4” (10.16cm) O.D. pipe, but can expand up to one and a half times in diameter allowing them to be installed over flanges, joints and sensors.

The Titanium Knitted Sleeves can be cut to length and the ends finished by simply rolling.

As an official Helix dealer Burton Power is pleased to announce it now has stocks of the Helix Five Paddle Clutch Kit for Ford Cosworth YB 16v Turbo 4wd applications.

The clutch features Cerametallic Paddle Drive plates that have cerametallic segments riveted onto a steel back plate. The segments are thicker than the sintered type to provide a higher heat tolerance and improved heat dissipation where a greater level of clutch slip is required.
This design is mainly targetted at high energy competition applications used in rally and rrace use, especially endurance, but the inclusion of damper springs to cushion the impact of clutch engagement on the driveline components make this kit suitable for road use too.

The kit includes: clutch cover assembly, five paddle driven plate and a release bearing.
