LCB Janspeed Exhaust Manifold £50-70
|
Brilliant I bought it in about 82-3 and it's still
used, it made the car go better too.

|
Draper 2 ton car jack (4 fixed wheels) £17
|
From getting it I thought how naff, no swivel wheels
on the front and yet 30 years later it still my preferred jack. It has
always weeped when not in use and I've had to top it up twice in that time.

Ring RSC16 smart charger
£80+
|
It was great the first couple of times I used it
but then a couple of years down the line bang and this is what Ring said.
"It sound like part of the circuit has failed but it
is difficult to determine why; as with any printed circuit a particular
component can fail, unfortunately I cannot offer to replace this unit as
the pass code tells me that the unit was supplied in August 2006 and is
around four years old, and is three years over the warranty period."

Cheap 3into1 Manifold for a mini
£17 in the 80's
|
We got what we paid for. We dropped a marble (1/2")
down a the head flanges and it wouldn't go through. We had to cut it below
the 3into1 joint and then cut back the over laps they'd left inside.

Hawk Command Tunning kit
|
a vacum gauge, strobe, remote starter and compression
tester. Bought in the late 70's still working, and being used (except the
strobe) . I've yet to find anything that will tune and engine better than
a vacum gauge.

Gunson Colortune
|
I had one in the 70's rarely used it, we used to
try tuning with it but the vacum gauge proved much better
|
|
Carbon Flo
|
I bought this in the early to mid eighties and have
put it in the tanks of all my A-Series cars and always used unleaded since
with no problems, even on a Very high comp ratio'd engine I had, both on
road and on track.

|
Metinch Sockets and spanners
|
I never use anything else since getting them and
if I do I always try and get a six wall drive to fit first. They are brilliant
they work on knacker nuts and bolts and don't dammage new ones. And as
they name implies the fit metric and imperial

zeus book
|

today.
