undefined review of Soundmat Pads Pack of 10 image 1 out of 3

Mark B.Verified

This is excellent stuff, I just wish it was available in larger sizes or perhaps on a roll. Easy to use, easy to cut out with just ordinary scissors. Mould to shape with a heat gun.

Dean N.Verified

I needed fuel filler hose to connect my custom made fuel tank in my 1975 Dodge pickup truck. I wanted something tough but flexible and nowhere else could supply anything to my requirements at reasonable cost. I'm very happy with the products. Shipping was reasonable cost and fast too.

undefined review of 45° Banjo Hose End 10.2mm Hole image 1 out of 1

Peter H.Verified

Yes, the 45degree banjo overcame the problem of straight banjos catching ion the brake calibers causing a leak on a car that I have just completely built using quite a few other components from you. I have built a number of race cars over the years and it's great to have your catalogue to find most of the parts I needed. Great company and delivery service Peter Hubbard.

undefined review of Brake Pipe Straightener Tool 7 Sizes. image 1 out of 1

Chris R.Verified

As I'm trying to make my vehicle restoration as tidy as I can, I felt it was worth investing in the proper tools to make that possible. This pipe straightener is excellent in my opinion and has made my pipe runs look like a factory job. It may look a tad expensive considering the amount of time you may spend using it but - how good do you want your project to look!

undefined review of Brass M10 x 1 Single Male Brake Union image 1 out of 1

Paul S.Verified

These unions are ideal for the older classical braking systems as well as more modern. The additional length enables you to be certain you can seat the brake pipe securely to the female union, brake cylinder etc. Being brass they resist corrosion. Once fitted apply a smear of light machine oil such as "3 in One" to the outer surfaces and they will last forever.

undefined review of Brass Tee 10mm image 1 out of 1

David S.Verified

I bought a tee piece from Amazon, and it had a pinhole that sprayed petrol onto my exhaust manifold. I replaced it with this one. The Amazon one weighed 10g, the CBS one 35g and had much thicker walls because it wasn't made to be dangerously cheap.

undefined review of Black Plastic Interior Dipping Mirror 200mm image 1 out of 2

Neil B.Verified

I decided to mount the mirror on the dashboard as it gives a better view out of the rear window and it also improves the field of view through the front screen, which is always handy in such a small, low slung car like the Ginetta G21.

David S.Verified

This is a replacement for an old one on my Midas Gold kit car. The car has recently been vinyl wrapped so the brake light is not yet refitted. when it is refitted it will now have the integral surround, which will improve its appearance dramatically.

undefined review of Windscreen Washer Bottle Kit 1.5 ltr image 1 out of 1

Paul S.

Excellent bit of kit. With a little care this can be IVA compliant within the "car interior" as well as under bonnet etc. Pump electrical connections to be insulated and iva radius requirement to be adhered to. See photo. This got me through iva. Has worked faultlessly and is excellent value for money. The washer nozzle is also compliant.

undefined review of Stainless Steel 24mm Diameter Illuminated Push Button Switches With 12v RGB Illumination image 1 out of 1

Paul S.

This is a really attractive design. Works perfectly and the illumination colours are readily selectable from the attached socket at rear and colour coded flying leads. Resisters are in place as supplied so this saves a job. Stainless casing so no problem in my open top vehicle. Additionally the profile of the protruding section is sufficiently low to make this switch "IVA ok" (as always providing that you fit it in accordance to iva standards). Comes with a sealing ring much like a "o" ring. Fi...

It's a great replacement port, easy to fit. There are no issues with it, and no changes to existing wiring or connector are required.

I used the cable to replace the warm air heater cable on a vw T4 2.5tdi, far better than the original volkswagen item

Everything about this purchase was first class, from the product, price and speed of delivery. It makes an ideal boot light for my Toyota Aygo which did not have one. Well done Car Builder Solutions.

I tried making some brake pipes up using one of the cheaper style tools where you use a clamp and a small die that pulls into the tube and never got central flared ends. They were always distorted. So I bought this hand held tool where you screw the former into the tool. Easy, v simple and quick with perfect ends every time. Don't waste your time on the cheap stuff. This tool is not expensive and I recommend it.

Used these switches before on my Westfield . The old one was still working fine, but its internal light had stopped working. It was eleven years old. Not bad.

Not yet fitted but looks good and I'm happy that they'll work in the project better than any OEM parts I might have found, as these are very regular in form where OEM items are quite irregular...

David R.Verified

Much easier to use than the barrier strip connectors as you can be sure the wire itself has been gripped. They are more bulky though..

I bought this because the radio antenna on my van was a bee sting type, which was useless and could hardly get any radio stations. Since fitting this new one I have not had any trouble getting stations. Excellent value for money, well worth buying. Carbuilder made ordering so easy and the dispatch time was excellent. Highly recommend

Bought one of these 2011 for my IVA and passed. I think it has packed up after 13 years so bought another, plugged it into my loom and all works perfectly again. Arrived quickly as well

These round clear vision ventilation windows/panels have excellent optical clarity. They were a direct replacement in an aircraft. Probably best not to try and fit these in the middle of winter otherwise breakage could occur. Best warmed in some 50/60 centigrade water before fitting or a nice hot day. Brilliant replacement at a very good price. They rotate to either push air in or suck air out and close completely. Well wrapped in tissue to prevent scratching. Brilliant.

I vaguely knew the sort of part I needed to complete a modification on my Gilbern Invader. A quick search in the CBS Catalogue identified a switch that was the perfect solution. Price was reasonable and service was excellent. Another problem solved! Many thanks CBS,

Catalog really good as always. I prefer it much better than on line. An example is that I don’t shop at Screwfix any more since they dumped the catalog. I used to flick through it and find stuff I didn’t know I needed. Same with CBS. Good job.

I bought these lights for a Ford popular hot rod project not a 356, If only :) I was happy with the product , The quality is very good for reproduction parts . There never going to be 100% Porsche spec if your looking for a 100 point restoration but they are perfect for a decent restoration or replica build. First impression was they the lenses were very much like glass but they are in fact plastic, but good quality moldings. Stainless trim is good with good finish, Reflector backing is chrom...
