We offer a full rolling road tuning service on our MAHA MSR500 in East Sussex. We specialise in setting up carburettors and stock a range of needles, springs and jets for Weber and SU.

In addition to our own bespoke roll cage service we are also a Custom Cages Official Fitting Centre. We are approved by Custom Cages to supply and fit their roll cages. Additionally we can offer quick turn around times for roll cage fitment. Dependant on supply we can book you in and fit your roll cage within a couple of weeks.
We currently hold stock of the T45 lightweight Historic Mini roll cage. The best and most popular choice for FIA Appendix K Historic Mini Cooper S race cars. However, we can supply any Custom Cages roll cage from Mustang to Mk1 Lotus Cortina.
