Chromoly Flywheels
|
It doesn't add power. It reduces inertia. What?
If you don't know why someone would want a lighter-than-stock flywheel, google it. We'd be happy to discuss it, but this isn't the time nor place. We use these on lots of build levels, including otherwise stock spec engines. Stock flywheels tip the scales at 22+lbs, while these chromoly pieces range between 9 and 12lbs. Available in 6 or 8 bolt configurations and are compatible with oem clutches. |

EARLY 445 Tail Light Lenses
The "later" style tail light parts are available, and relatively easy to retrofit into an earlier 445. But if you're one of the very few good people who own a Duett that predates those later lamps, you might like these.
Note that they're not concourse quality. These are solid driver level pieces that look just fine from a few feet away. One of the lenses in the pic to the left is an NOS piece; the other is one of our reproductions.
We sold these until we ran out. We'll likely cast another batch at some point, but demand - and thus, inclination - is low.

Mangoletsi DCOE Intake Manifold:
DCOE carbs are the ideal blend of sexiness plus function. But ya gotta have a way to fit them onto your engine. The Mangoletsi intake manifold is longer than some of the other aftermarket manifolds (which is good for fuel atomization and flow) yet shorter than others (which is good for clearing the inner fender on 120 and 1800 series cars).
'Standard' form manifolds do well with most engine formats, and for more obnoxious engines, ported versions are available.
Lots of linkage options - rods and levers vs cable, etc.

Similar to the 'Aux Air Valve block off plates' shown below, this plate is smaller, and fits those B series heads that originally had a provision for a factory oil cooler. Lots of those heads have their original steel plate in place, which renders our piece functionally useless yet still aesthetically superior.
Of course, if your plate is absent, this is the fix. Adds bling. |

Okay, not exactly new - but new to us. Variations of these have been on (and off) the market for years. Sometimes they're lauded for improving cooling (seems unlikely). Sometimes we're told that they muffle valvetrain noise (we can't tell, but our engines are noisy anyway). Sometimes there are whispers and rumors about copyright issues due to the letters cast into the top (we'll let you know). We like them and we use them. If you like them, you can use them too. Pretty simple. Fits all B18 and B20 engines. |
Aux Air Valve block plates
|
If we're converting a Djet head to run carbs, there's no longer any need for the Aux Air Valve nor Temp Sender II. You can leave them in place, or you can sell them to someone who still runs Djet. Then you can buy these and you'll still have lots of $$ left over. Includes blank plate for AAV, hardware and plug as shown. Plate on the left is as received and super cool for that 'manufactured patina' look that's popular among the vinyl wrap crowd; can be polished as shown on the right.

Injector Plug Retainers
|
Also for Djet heads that have been converted to carbs. People have been plugging injector holes with 7/8" expansion plugs for decades, and those plugs usually stay in place without any issue. But if one pops out, you have a serious vacuum leak that has to be addressed immediately.
These stainless steel plates ensure that the expansion plugs can't escape. Sold with mounting hardware. Of course, we install the plugs first. All injection heads that we convert to carbs get these lovelies as part of the deal. |

Cog Pulleys -- CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK
|
V belts are fine for just about everyone. You probably don't need these. Running a cog belt system allows you to use far less belt tension than with a standard V belt, and this reduces wear on alternator and water pump bearings. That's not really significant on a stock application, but if you've increased your alternator output so that it can keep up with aux lighting or other electrical consumers you may find that the belt tension required is more than what you want your water pump and alternator to endure. Also great for Wow Factor.
Generator pulley fits OE Bosch alternator with minor adjustment. Also fits the 100amp Denso alternators typically found on 7/900 series Volvos. Sold with 2 belts; replacement belts are common and available at any auto parts store. We haven't been able to get these for a couple years, but we're still bugging the manufacturer. Stay tuned.
