XK IGNITION
Webcon now has a fully mapped, Alpha
Bronze turnkey ignition system for the
legendary 3.8 and 4.2-litre Jaguar XK six-
cylinder engine. The new kit contains every
part required to do the conversion, including
a bespoke trigger disc and pickup, distributor
replacement bracket and wasted spark coil,
custom wiring harness, Alpha PRO5 ECU,
ignition leads and more. With hundreds of
hours of testing to perfect the calibration,
the map has been developed to optimise
the engine’s effi ciency resulting in greatly
enhanced torque, driveability and hot and
cold starting. It’s available as part number
K57601S at £1314. Call: 01932 787100 or
visit http://www.webcon.co.uk for more info.
HOSE IT DONE?
Winter is almost over and the 2016 race and classic car season
will be starting soon. However, before you roll your classic out
onto the road or track, check out the range of new race-spec
silicone hoses available in a Classic Black fi nish from Samco
Sport. They are ideal for classic racing or upgrading
your street classic with something longer lasting, more
effi cient and able to withstand higher pressures than
OEM rubber hoses. A fully illustrated list of what hoses
are available can be downloaded from the info/prices
section at: http://www.samcosport.com.
TIME FOR TEA?
Classic cars run on petrol, but classic car mechanics run on tea, and lots of it,
so what better to slurp your brew than out of an authentic Castrol 18oz/500ml
mug from Mini Spares? This retro-styled enamelled tin mug harks back to the
original packaging that Castrol was using when the fi rst Minis appeared. Put the
kettle on and get your own cup of nostalgia for just £5.99. Order as part number
CASTROL02. For more details call: 01707 607700 or visit: http://www.minispares.com.
CAMPING IN THE WOOD
Volkswagen Bay Window bus owners looking for a luxury steering
wheel upgrade have, up until now, had to make do with small
sporty wheels that are too tiny to control a Camper at slow speeds.
That’s why VW Heritage has decided to source an 18-inch wood
rim wheel from EMPI, with sculpted fi nger grips on the underside
to steer a classic commercial in style. The wheel features polished
chrome spokes and a subtle one-and-a-half-inch dish. Also available
is the billet aluminium boss kit to fi t 1955-1967, 1968-1974 and
1975-1979 models. Order the wheel as part number: AC
at £199 and the boss kit at £89. Call: 01273 444000 or visit http://www.
