I needed one of those fucking longer actuator arm things the other day and didnt know where to get one, luckily doug stirling came to the rescue

All look nicely made bits of kit there mike, is it all swedish stuff you are reselling again or is some of it actually made for R&B exclusively?

Just a little , its machined from aircraft quality solid billet alloy and is a strengthening plate for the diff to try and stop the gears from climbing on top of each other and cracking the casing open.

bling rear diff cover - so everyone can see you've cleaned your diff!

floo floo valves that screw into the fuel rail.

Sump nut - again bling so people can see just how bufty your car really is.

Banjo - not the string type though.

Fuel rail - to replace that nasty standard item.

non-threaded bonnent pins - really useful





Am I right?

you 2 should look up the definition of toughness when talking about materials

for example:

Stop trying to be clever with semantics - you both know EXACTLY what I mean . Bastards . Okay, how about, torsional rigidity over the standard item is improved ten fold - satisfied?

Spot on (someone with some intelligence at last ), the oil feed adapters also allow the turbo oil feed to be taken from here .

The items you are stumped on are stainless-steel lamda bosses, the big one is the 18mm wide band and comes with the machined boss to weld on to the down pipe, and the nut then unscrews to allow fitment of this. The smaller one is to move the narrow band item to the down-pipe if this is to be retained and the turbo no longer supports this... .

As to the "carpet" it is actually one of Sunlight's finest mats - the carpet underneath is FAR worse .
