Fuel octain ratings and mirrors !

Hi Rod

95 unleaded is fine but you may want to use a lead additive with it – not essential, I’ll let others explain.

My preference on mirrors is to use a door edge mounted mirror but you can also get them to fix on the front door handles. Some cars have them on the wings but they seem to be rather a long way away from the driver.

Happy new year

Totally unrelated, any ideas on best place to fit outside mirrors? Not keen on drilling holes in the old girl.

Door handle mounting brackets is the most stable place. Mirrors that clamp on the doors are prone to fall off with the vibration……

Hi Rod

Yes the door handle brackets (you just fit standard 8mm motorcycle mirrors to the bracket) from a club Member, Mike Bigland Mobile 07812023896 £30 per pair, mike@paradeigma.plus.com, I have them on both my cars a fantastic invention. My mirrors (motorcycle mirrors 8mm diameter) were purchased from Demon Tweeks for about £14 per pair?

I run both my cars on standard Fuel with SPITFIRE Fuel Catalyst inserted in the tank approx £40 or purchased at NEC 23/24/25  March 2018 £25 each. The small Spitfire is inserted into the tank.  diamond shaped approx 30mm long it will boost your Octane 95  >99/100 they come supplied in a plastic mesh pocket which I melted a lenth of stripper plastic through the mesh (small blow lamp) so enabling removal from tank. I have them fitted to both cars and have completed many, many miles without any problems.

Hi Rod

By the way, I forgot to tell you the lifetime of the Spitfire catalyst is Guaranteed for up to  (I think) 60,000 miles without replacing.  A great product, such a small piece of combined metals to produce a proven & tested piece of brilliant engineering.

Hi Davy

Looking at your Spitfire catalyst link I think it’s 6000 miles, but how would you know it was or wasn’t working?
