GBS'S HARDINGE CNC MACHINE PRODUCES MORE NEW PARTS..............






We have been producing Brake Discs on our new Hardinge CNC Lathe, the benefit of these are that the curved grooves clean the surface of the pad and allow gases produced to escape and improving the friction characteristics. This effects overall friction and improved bite or release of your brakes, the backward facing groves run out on outside diameter to clear debris. These will soon be available from Kit Spares.

Also Zero customer David Tough has sent us some photographs of his Zero build which by the look of it is coming along nicely and is not to far off completion.

The next shows GBS and Kit Spares will be attending will be Exeter Kit Car Show on the 22nd & 23rd October, Motor Sport UK (Coventry) 5th & 6th November and then The Professional Motor Sport Show in Cologne Germany 15th, 16th and 17th November.

GBS ZERO DEMONSTRATOR GOES ON A ROAD TRIP.........






Last week one of the Directors of GBS Richard Hall took our Zero demonstrator to the Grand Prix in Monza, covering a total of 2600 miles going down to Monte Carlo and around the Grand Prix Circuit then up to Italy to Monza to watch the Grand Prix then returning back through Switzerland. The Zero performed really well and was fitted with the new GBS Plenum which gave brilliant fuel economy and performance, as well as being fitted with a few other prototype parts for testing and evaluation that will be making an appearance soon. Throughout the trip the Zero got a lot of attention and outshone many Ferrari's in Monaco.
