(Denoted by the ‘K’ suffix on the new part number).

The 40DCOE18K is supplied as part number 1955012200 and comes with the specification below:

Venturi 32mm
Aux. Vent 3.5
Main Jet 125
Air Corrector 220

The long winter nights are ideal for car thieves. Whilst there are lots of antitheft devices on the market today, M-Style recommends and fits the Ghost Immobiliser for several very good reasons:

• The Ghost immobiliser has no key-fobs or LED indications to give away its location.

• The Ghost uses the buttons that are already in your vehicle (such as those on the steering wheel, door panels or centre console) to allow you to make a unique, changeable PIN code sequence that must be entered before the car can be driven.

• There are no physical locks for a thief to pick.

• There is no remote control for a thief to scan.

• If a thief takes your car while the engine is running, as soon as it is stopped it won’t restart.

M-Style can supply and fit a Ghost Immobiliser system for just £449.00 including VAT.

M-Style can also supply and fit Thatcham Cat. 5/6 tracking systems.

Now is the time of year when most MGBs are tucked up in their garages waiting for the first signs of spring, but it’s also the time to get out into the garage and put some added enjoyment into your MGB in the form of a Fidanza lightweight aluminium flywheel.

Fidanza lightweight flywheels offer….
• Faster throttle response and quicker acceleration
• Additional horsepower to the wheels by reducing parasitic losses due to flywheel weight
• Smoother, faster gear shifting
• Easier braking, better slowing (due to reduced rotational mass)
• Reduced clutch wear and improved efficiency (from better heat dissipation)
• Cost savings and longevity (friction plate is replaceable and can be replaced any number of times when worn)
• Potential for increased fuel economy (if you can keep your foot off the gas!)

Fidanza flywheels now come with a new green friction plate coating to protect the steel friction surface from moisture, oil and grease contamination during shipping, storage and installation. The steel friction plate is the only part of the flywheel that is subject to wear and it’s replaceable. When it eventually wears out there is no need to buy a complete new flywheel; just replace the friction plate and you’re off again!

Fidanza flywheels are available for the following MGB models:
1963-1967 1.8 litre 120 tooth flywheel – Fidanza part number 126991
1968-1980 1.8 litre 127 tooth flywheel – Fidanza part number 126801

As a special incentive Fidanza is offering a special winter discount on these flywheels.
The 126991 flywheel is currently on offer at $447.96 instead of the list price of $527.02 and the
126801 is on offer at $388.70 instead of $457.29. Prices are plus shipping and import tax.
