Shining light
Matt says
‘Chucking out plenty of light over a wide area, this lamp is perfect for when you're working under your classic.’
A good work light can make a breakdown repair a breeze and workshop tinkering a pleasure.
Boasting a light output of 2000 lumens, the Nova Star LED work light really could be the perfect companion for working on your classic. Featuring an adjustable stand, hook and magnet, it’s versatile in ensuring you’ve always got light when you need it, and with five different lighting modes (including emergency red and flashing options) and in-built USB power-bank, it’s as useful out on the road as it is in the workshop.
Unflappable
British Motor Heritage (BMH) has just introduced a new panel to its range in the form of this centrally mounted intake flap that allows cold air to be drawn into the passenger compartment, which was standard fit to all TR4, TR4A, TR5 and TR250 models, plus TR6 models with CC or CP chassis numbers. The replacement panel is carefully assembled at the BMH plant in Witney before being transported to Northamptonshire to receive a top quality electro-coated paint finish, so it truly is all British. Part no: 705242.

Developed for Minis, but suitable for any classic which uses the same joints, these polyurethane gaiters for all Mini knuckle joints and many track rod ends greatly reduce the chances of splitting, compared with modern rubber items, and eliminate the problem of perishing. Mini Spares note that this gaiter may not fit every track rod end because over the past 55 years many ‘pattern’ track rod ends have been produced; however, it will fit every genuine Mini suspension knuckle ball joint (part no: GSV1118) ever made.

Around the bend
Classics often get tarred by the ‘vague steering’ brush, but it shouldn’t be that way. If you have grown tired of constantly correcting the your VW Type 2 camper just to stay in a straight line, a brand-new steering box could be the answer to your directional woes.
