February 2014 updates to what Kirks-Auto is doing
for MGC owners…
Two dozen MGC units for sale! Fresh from a supplier for ALL British race cars right here in the heartland where Saturday Night racing is a legacy! 12.5 lbs. means the equivalent of 40 added horse power from a dead start. $650 for MGC
The only other offered in the market place are in the UK and cost £675. This is equal to $1050 FOB with shipping custom, tariff, and brokerage fees adding $100 or so more…and they have no stock.
Kirk’s “Sebring” flywheels are made from the best quality 6061 T6 alloy ideal for both heat dissipation, strength and of course HP robbing weight. 6061 T6 has an over 34 thousand PSI yield strength and tensile strength exceeding 41 thousand PSI. The ring gear is heated and shrunk onto the wheel and screwed with military grade 8 self locking hardware (place bolts.) The “Sebring” friction surface we use is an incredibly strong 1050 steel known in the industry as pickled and oiled. The replaceable plate avoids the need to replace the entire flywheel when the clutch or flywheel is at the end of its life…ergo: savings of both your money and time.
Also for MGA, MGB, Midget, Sprite, Spitfire, TR2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and Jaguar; most in Tilton Clutch set ups as well. POA Inquire. $425-$600 prices are all subject to commodity price fluctuations.

Place bolts
are
used where secure fit and little or no locking
device is practical.
You see these on Main Caps and Flywheels. They
are “self locking” bolts capable of withstanding
torsional rotational vibrational stresses for their
chosen function. Kirks has developed these
exclusively for the MGC and
MGB late-V engine applications for the main
caps. These meet Military Spec 734.728.7070
and are only offered by Kirks-Auto.  |
 Compare to the only other offering in typical grade 8 specification. (Not the best bolt for main caps) Currently offered as MGB V and MGC main bolts. (NOT OE CORRECT) $6.50 each…10 required for MGB V engine 14 for MGC. |
 Generic oil cooler fit kit with screw style ends & stainless hose overlay. Available for ALL LBCs |
 Thermostat allows engine to reach operating temp before circulating oil to the cooler….ideal for late fall, winter andearly spring driving in much of the US and Canada. |
 Assorted oil and transmission fluid coolers 10 row is the most popular. |
