Su Fuel Pumps +44(0) 1885 488 488 SU FUEL PUMPS +44(0) 1885 488 488 SU Fuel Pumps have always had an arrangement of contact breaker points to switch the current and initiate the pumping action. This is the clicking noise you can hear which tells you that your pump is working. The SU system of points is very reliable and long lasting, but eventually problems can occur with burnt or dirty points. We are still able to supply new pumps to the original ‘pointed’ design which are not polarity conscious, but in addition are also able to supply SU pumps without points. These ‘pointless’ pumps are actuated by means of an electronic switch and a solid state timing control device which overcomes the problems with points and ensures that your pump will work every time, even after a long winter lay-up. The electronic system is patented and the ‘pointless’ pumps are externally identical to their ‘pointed’ counterparts and LIGHTING the characteristic ticking has been retained, so you still know yours is working! In addition we offer DIY Conversion its complete with electronic circuit board and fttings to enable existing pumps to be modifed to electronic actuation SWITCHES if required. The ‘pointless’ pumps are polarity conscious, which means that you have to order appropriate to your car.

  • Coastal Classics
    CHAIRMAN’S CHAT. Coastal 39s 5d As I sit here writing this, I reflect on this current year of isolation for many and restrictions for others. Its been a year of being able to get those necessary jobs done on the classics for Classics many with the lack of shows. Let’s hope we can see an end to this and hopefully next year be able to get out and about again. Somehow, we will soon have a committee meeting, social distanced of course, to decide on events for next year and to whether the AGM, scheduled for February can go ahead or do we postpone it for a few months. The later looks likely but we shall try to keep you informed of any necessary developments. The same will Covid Car Show apply to our Annual Dinner which was due to take place in January. Should you be wondering why you have not received a reminder about your Membership well its been decided that this will be suspended for this year and hopefully will start again in 2021. For those that have paid this year a free year next year will be given too you. As you can imagine the lack of our two shows has hit us fairly hard so we shall have to postpone our usual donations to charities this year with reluctance I must admit. What more can I say other than keep safe and let’s hope this dreadful virus comes to an end soon so we can get out and about again and back to normality? Your Chairman.

  • 'Need to Know' Series, No. 3: SU Carburettors – Part 1 – the History
    www.wheels-alive.co.uk ‘Need to Know’ Series, No. 3: SU Carburettors – Part 1 – The History Published: 8th February 2018 Author: Dave Moss Online version: https://www.wheels-alive.co.uk/need-to-know-series-no-3-su-carburettors-part-1-the-history/ Typical single SU carburettor installation, in this case on an early BMC Mini 850. Similar instruments were fitted to a host of BMC/BL cars. www.wheels-alive.co.uk Find out more about the SU carburettor… …a clever instrument found under the bonnets of many classic vehicles. Our three part series explains its history and construction, and how to maintain/overhaul the unit to optimise performance and minimise petrol consumption. Part 1 looks at the origins and development of this amazing and efficient instrument. Dave Moss is your guide… The Lilley and Skinner boot and shoe manufacturing dynasty might seem an unlikely birthplace for the familiar SU carburettor – but it emerged from the ideas of George Herbert Skinner, born into the family in 1872. Usually known as Herbert by the time he began working in the family business at the very dawn of the motoring age, even at that early stage shoes appear to have been of little interest. Herbert was soon applying for patents on carburation ideas for the new-fangled motor cars then beginning to appear, with his ideas translated into practical reality by his younger brother, Thomas Carlyle (Carl) Skinner. It’s not clear what car was used to test these ideas, though possibilities apparently range from a French Léon Bollée to an early Renault or Wolverhampton-built Star.

  • Midel Pty Ltd Since 1969
    MIDEL PTY LTD SINCE 1969 Ver:5 Phone Sales on 02 9759 5598 - Open Monday-Friday. *Next day delivery Australia wide. Visa & MasterCard welcome. Company History Bill Bressington, the founder of Midel and the driving force behind S.U. in Australia, became involved in S.U. fuel systems during his apprenticeship from 1945 to 1950 at the then S.U. distributors, York Motors. An affinity with this unique carburettor saw him follow the distributorship, first to Automotive Carburettors until 1960 and then to Lancaster Motors. In 1970, Bill set up Partco Trading which evolved into Midel Pty. Ltd., whose Illawarra Rd.premises became a magnet to British-vehicle owners and S.U. enthusiasts. The company expanded and moved to their present modern warehouse facility in 1984, still concentrating on importing and distributing S.U. carburettors and fuel system products. Of late, the purchase of superseded factory stocks and the reconditioning of out of production units for early vehicles, has become a Midel speciality. Over the years, Bill has worked closely with top drivers and engine builders such as the late Peter Manton, in the development of twin S.U. manifolds and conversion parts. His yearly visits to S.U. England since 1960, and the collating of S.U. factory specification and tuning data, has put Midel at the forefront on product range and knowledge amongst S.U. distributors worldwide. With some parts diminishing Midel saw the need to start manufacturing parts of their own. These parts include throttle shafts, spindles, gaskets, jets, metering needles all in house and to exact specifications.
