A Hazard Warning Light function is a discreet but important safety upgrade for all classic vehicles.

Should you need to pull over, it is vital to let other road users know your situation – particularly on what are laughingly called ‘Smart’ Motorways. Many classic cars are much smaller than modern vehicles so visibility is essential, especially in a breakdown or emergency situation.

The Mini Spares Hazard Light Module Set is an ultra reliable, universal hazard light modulethat is supplied ready to fit and is suitable for all classic vehicles … not just Minis.

It is simple to install with no requirement to replace your existing indicators. The illuminated classic style dashboard switch works with both traditional and LED bulbs and the kit is suitable for positive and negative earth vehicles. Full instructions and connectors are included.

The module will even work on cars that use the brake lights as rear indicators. These cars more than likely have a Lucas DB10 relay. In this case, simply use the specially designed additional leads when installing the Hazard Light Module and follow the relevant instructions.

The Mini Spares Hazard Light Module Set can be ordered as part number MSSK2009 at £49.97 inc. VAT.

The Volvo 200 Series enjoyed a particularly long production life from 1974 right through to 1993. The 240 model was Volvo’s best selling model from 1975 to 1982 and was made in Sweden, Belgium, Italy, Australia, Canada and Malaysia. If you’re thinking of buying one of these robust classics, GAZ can provide dampers that will not only restore the ride and road holding but offer the upgrade to adjustable damping rates.

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 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 for Volvo 240 retail at £70.64 each plus VAT

The Lancia Fulvia (named after Fulvia Flacca Bambula, an aristocratic Roman woman and wife of Mark Antony) was produced from 1963 to 1976. It came in three variants: Berlina (4 door saloon), Coupé and Sport (an alternative coupé design by Zagato on the Coupé floorpan).

The independent suspension was somewhat unusual in that it had wishbones with a single leaf spring at the front and a beam axle with leafsprings at the rear. In spite of the unconventional set up it was hailed as a ‘precision motorcar’ by Road & Track in 1967.

However, things have moved on and GAZ fully adjustable GT dampers are now available for the Fulvia to 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 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 Gold Coilover kit will bring damper rate and ride height adjustability to the Ford Fiesta Mk3 XR2i, RS1800 and RS Turbo models.

Ride height is adjustable through 60mm of adjustment. The damper units are plated with black zinc and fitted with anodised adjusters for long life. 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.

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

There is no question about the popularity of the classic VW Beetle. Over 21 million were made between 1938 and 2003.

The dampers have adjustable bump/rebound rates which can be altered by means of an easily accessible knob on the side of the units.

Fidanza now offers a performance lightweight aluminum flywheel that will fit 1975 -1995 Toyota Pickups fitted with the i4 engine. The Fidanza design team first analyzed the original to see where engineering improvements were needed. They identified that better performance would be achieved through improvements to overall balance and critical clearances as well as the overall design.

The Fidanza flywheel is machined from the highest quality aluminum and manufactured to deliver optimum tensile strength, heat dissipation and weight reduction. By not becoming too light poor idle and driving issues (as found with some of the ultra-lightweight competitors) are avoided. Fidanza Flywheels aren’t always the lightest, but they are the best!

Benefits:
• High performance and lighter weight to free additional horsepower
• Military grade fasteners for reliability and strength
• Bolt-on replaceable friction plate – no need to replace the compete flywheel when the friction surface
eventually wears out
• Stepped dowels
• Billet aluminum body
• Replaceable hardened 1050 steel ring gear
• Faster throttle response
• 40-60 percent lighter than stock for quicker acceleration
• Heat treated friction plate for optimum grip and long life

As major Quaife dealers, Burton Power can now offer the Quaife ATB Differential for the Ford English 22 spline axle (also known as the Timken or Banjo axle). The Quaife ATB Differential is suitable for earlier English Fords including the Anglia 105E/123E, Consul Classic and Consul Capri, Corsair, Cortina Mk1/2, Lotus Cortina, Escort Mk1/2 (inc RS & Mexico), Prefect 107E and the Lotus Elan.

The Quaife ATB is a direct replacement for the standard ‘open’ differential.

Unlike a conventional plate-style limited slip unit, these units employ gears, rather than clutch plates for a much smoother operation. The Quaife ATB automatically biases the torque, to a constantly varying degree, away from the spinning wheel across the axle to the wheel that still has traction. It never locks up. Thus, controlled power is delivered to all the driven wheels, maximising traction and minimising wheelspin, particularly in slippery conditions.

It is safe, progressive and seamless in action. It will also improve braking performance and reduce tyre wear.

The Quaife ATB 22 Spline Differential can be ordered as part number QUALSD1 at £560.00 inc. VAT
