Be safe, be screen
Motaclan can now supply screens for all TVR models from Mseries to Sagaris, following retooling and reproduction of T350 MkII and Sagaris windscreens in collaboration with Pilkington. Made using the original factory tooling and traditional methods, the glass is made on the original plywood templates, before the glass has its raw edges ground off and finished by hand. This TVR Glass was originally produced by the Saint Gobain factory in Finland, which closed at the end of December 2020. Pilkington’s bespoke factory specialising in this classic production is also in Finland, meaning the tooling has been on something of a round trip, having enjoyed a sabbatical in Motaclan’s West Midlands HQ while this new deal was set up.
Feelin’ hot hot hot
Lightweight and small to store, there should be no excuse for not having one of these powerful fire extinguishers in the cabin of your classics. Activated in much the same way as striking a match (it’ll pay to familiarise yourself with how it works before you need it), and boasting a 15 year shelf life, the fire safety stick has a discharge time of 50 seconds (compared to around seven seconds for a one-litre standard fire extinguisher) and promises not to leave amess in its wake. firesafetystick.com
The Snip!
If you’ve ever nicked a cable when snipping a tie, you’ll recognise the benefits of these need new pliers. Designed for the safe removal of nylon cable ties without causing damage to surrounding components or bundled wires, they feature a pair of precision cut flat-bladed cutting jaws that enable them to fit neatly under the head of the tie, but away from the fastened wires.

Slip sliding away
Burton Power can now offer the Quaife ATB differential for the Ford English 22-spline axle, used on a variety of models. Unlike a conventional platestyle limited slip unit, these units employ gears, rather than clutch plates for amuch smoother operation. The Quaife ATB automatically biases the torque, to a constantly varying degree, away from the spinning wheel across the axle to the wheel that still has traction. It never locks up. Thus, controlled power is delivered to all the driven wheels, maximising traction and minimising wheelspin, particularly in slippery conditions. Part no: QUALSD1 burtonpower.com
