Ford brake kits
Tarox’s Uprated Disc and Pad Kits for classic Fords lets owners drastically improve their braking performance without changing the car’s hubs or calipers. The parts fit Mk3-5 Cortinas, plus Mk1-2 Escorts and prices start at £129
Nuts & Bolts
Mini Blow Gun
Costing £11.44, Laser Tool’s Mini Blow Gun has a venturi-style head that draws in ambient air to significantly boost flow. As a result, it consumes just 6.55cfm of air from the compressor, but outputs 13cfm.
Healey 100 pedals
Denis Welch Motorsport’s replacement pedals are CAD designed from original drawings to exacting dimensions and tolerances, while the pivot tube is machine-reamed to insure a good fit. Prices start from £95.
New car polish
Said to be ‘even better than wax’, Armour All Shield protects paintwork against the elements, dirt, dust, grime and pollutants. The £11.95 price also includes a money-back guarantee.
