Vauxhall may have revived the Viva name but GAZ still hasn’t forgotten the original model and has an adjustable damper set for the Viva HC which also fits the high performance Magnum model (here’s hoping that Vauxhall revive that too!).

GAZ fully adjustable GT dampers enable the damping bump and rebound rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style. Adjustment can be altered 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 GT dampers feature a zinc plated body and have a 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

GAZ adjustable dampers for the HC Viva can be ordered as part number GT6-4696 for the front at £63.70 each and rear GT dampers as GT6-4697 also at £63.70 each plus VAT.

Converting your carburettored classic to electronic fuel injection has never been easier thanks to the new Weber Retroject Throttle Body from Webcon.

Essentially, Retroject is a dual injector throttle body designed to directly replace the Weber 32/36 DGV and 38 DGAS. The critical dimensions are identical including positioning of throttle lever and throttle rotation. Thus it will be possible to remove a Weber twin choke carb. and bolt on the Retroject, then add any aftermarket ECU and loom and a high pressure fuel supply from a Webcon WFP600. In doing so you will then have the power, driveability, torque and economy of a modern EFI system on your classic car. It really is as simple as that. No messing about with new throttle linkages, new air filters or new inlet manifolds.

Retroject is supplied complete with: 2 x Weber PICO fuel injectors, TPS, air temp sensor, idle motor and fuel pressure regulator. The result is a complete, bolt on, EFI solution at a fraction of the cost and complexity of multi throttle bodies.

Retroject is ideal when using a modern engine in a kit car and EFI is needed to comply with modern catalyst requirements. It will also be ideal for off road, marine and general classic car use.

Retroject is extremely competitively priced at just £450.45 plus VAT. (Connector kit ATB400CK contains all the connectors required for the components in the throttle body and retails at £28.60 plus VAT).

Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world.

How old are the tyres on your classic?

On 1st February 2021, car tyres more than ten years old became illegal on certain vehicles.

Although this only applies to the front steering axles of lorries, buses and coaches in England, Scotland and Wales it was a major road safety action taken by the Government after “years of work”. The implication of this is that, even if your car isn’t affected by the legislation, notice should be taken of the road safety advantages.

Thankfully, Mini Spares can provide top brand tyres that combine a classic appearance with the latest tyre technology for both comfort and safety.

These Yokohama GT Special Classic Y350 145/80/10 Tyres look great on 10” wheeled Minis as well as other Japanese and European cars from the 60’s and 70’s and Mini based kit cars.

Order as part number TYRE34 at £77.94 inc. VAT each.
