998 CENTRE MAIN STRAP<br />

£45<br />

Following on from the popularity of MED’s centre main<br />

strap for the 1275 is a new version for small-bore<br />

engines. The centre main strap strengthens the centre<br />

main cap area of the block that can be a weak spot on<br />

higher performance builds. For a high RPM road or<br />

competition engine it makes an excellent upgrade. The<br />

new strap is CNC-machined from billet steel and<br />

features cut-outs for the thrust washers. Also included is<br />

a pair of high quality studs and nuts to replace the<br />

standard bolts. The standard main cap will need to be<br />

machined to suit.<br />

MED VERNIER BELT DRIVE<br />

£350<br />

The MED vernier belt drive kit replaces the traditional<br />

timing chain setup with a high-quality gates belt,<br />

aiming to dampen any potentially damaging<br />

harmonics from the valve train. It is easily adjustable<br />

to perfect camshaft timing in situ. And the updated<br />

design removes the tensioner to allow for a more<br />

compact setup, enabling fitment on both <strong>Mini</strong> and<br />

inline (Sprite/Midget) engines. This unique new design<br />

uses a <strong>Mini</strong> primary gear oil seal for the camshaft and<br />

a readily available seal for the crankshaft. Features<br />

include a CNC-machined aluminium housing with<br />

removable cover to enable access to camshaft timing<br />

without removal of the crankshaft pulley.<br />
