Customer photo review of Shallow Rotary Heater Valve Controller With Cable+1
Patrick N.Verified
I wanted something unobtrusive to use in my Elite and this fits the bill. I just tucked it under the dash within easy reach of my right hand, It's a good smooth operation. It was easy to install following the video on the product page.

Customer photo review of Shrouded Heavy Duty Red/Chrome Push Button Switch
Nicholas M.Verified
This item was purchased in conjunction with the horn push and the look and feel of the item gave me the same view of quality an longevity of service. Plus, it looks good mounted next to the horn push.

David S.Verified
This is a replacement for the previous switch which was damaged in a small accident. I have also wired it for a manual override switch on the dashboard. It works well and. has restored the cooling system to full function.

Customer photo review of Budget Assembly Closing Tool for Lucas Style Bullet Connectors
Paul S S.
This tool may be described as "budget" but it does the job perfectly. At the age of 72, and with hand/finger joints way past their prime this makes fitting bulleted wires into receptacles a simple quick task. If you have a classic car and are doing wiring work buy 1

Customer video review of Brake Pipe Straightener Tool  7 Sizes.
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!

Customer photo review of Straight Swivel Male Convex Seat M10 x 1
David H.Verified
I find that these connexions are easy to use given a little patience and care. I've found it best to first put two wraps of good masking tape around the braided hose before cutting it with a slitting disc on an angle grinder. The tape prevents the braiding from splaying out too much so the hose can be fed through the tube nut with ease. Using a slitting disc give a neat, 90 degree cut without crushing the PTFE hose as side cutters do. This could arguably weaken the hose and there is no need ...

Customer photo review of 1/4" Male Spade Double Busbar
Alan G.Verified
I have used the busbar to extend the outputs available from the fuse box of my Triumph Stag so that I can install a GPS speedometer. I have checked that the GPS unit is receiving a signal from the aerial and I am waiting for the electronic speedometer to be delivered.

David L.Verified
We used your headlights, shallow bowls and chrome rings to retro fit to this 1974 Scania that we are currently restoring. We will just need to swap the bulbs to 24v. As I’m sure you’ll agree they look great 👍

Paul T.Verified
The replacement stainless steel U - Bolts have been used to secure an exhaust heat deflection shield, so that the slip stream helps to dissipate heat away from my underslung gas tank.

Customer photo review of Black Push-Pull Cable 6Ft Long
John D.Verified
The cable did the job on a MGR V8 which the heater cable had stopped working. The new heater unit was Over £400 if you could find one, so this the next best thing. The owner was very happy with the new cable lay out.

Customer photo review of Brass M10 x 1 Single Male Brake Union
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.

Customer photo review of ABS Moulded Expansion Tank 0.75 Ltr
Tim E.Verified
Your video gave me the confidence to choose this as the solution (and fit it correctly) to my 1956 Austin A30 which was burping up about 1/2 pt of water by the time it was up to temperature. I’m using a ‘classic’ Mini rad to save the eye watering cost of a re-cored original. With the expansion tank, an electric fan, thermal switch and relay - all from CBS - the car bumbles along all day with the water temp sitting steady at about 90C. Thanks

Trevor J.Verified
I used Car Builders Solutions quite a lot when I was building my GBS kit car, but that is long gone and for the last 9 years I’ve been restoring my classic mini, once again I’ve been using CBS for all my bits and pieces and I find that the prices, help and variety is really good, highly recommended..

Customer photo review of Brass Tee 10mm
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.

Customer video review of Stainless Braided Flexible PTFE Brake Hose per mtr
Shaun G.Verified
The braised PTFE hose has been a god send. I’m doing almost everything on our old G Wagon build with it. Really easy to use and make up your own lines as you can see in the Vid. Looks great as well. Really chuffed with this. Good video support from the Car Builder website as well.

Customer photo review of Black Plastic Interior Dipping Mirror 200mm+1
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.

Customer photo review of Spare Wheel Tie Down
Geoff F.Verified
Great part, could do with a little extra length on the strap for the non ratchet strap to enable 2 wheels to be held down via the boot floor rather than the boot wall. But no problems whatsoever.

Customer photo review of Fuel Filter Glass & Chrome With 8mm Hose Tails
Paul S.
Excellent fuel filter that is well made and "looks the part". Photo shows the filter mounted to a custom made bracket prior to fitting to my Triumph Stag. Cbs are simply the best "one stop shop" here in Europe. Don`t hesitate to buy from these guys. Rapid delivery is a plus.

Customer photo review of 12mm (1/2") Heater Hose Per Metre
Neil M.Verified
The fact that a specialist company such as yourselves, with a plethora of items available, have the time to give an infrequent customer like myself the opportunity to purchase such a meager item (a cutoff of heater hose) without any premium, makes me feel grateful and obliged to approach you for my next purchase.

Customer photo review of LED Strip Stop/Tail Light 237mm
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.

Customer photo review of Compact Dual Circuit Remote Brake Servo
David R.
This was fitted in a left hand drive MGB with dual circuit brakes. We had to mount it across the corner of the engine bay by fabricating some simple brackets and metal pipe clips with rubber sleeves. The optional bracket that CBS can supply is best suited when there are flat surfaces in the engine bay so we didn't use it. The servo was easy to make brake pipes for, but be aware that the two vertical connections require a full length union as they have very deep holes. Once bled, the servo works ...

Paul S.
This is an excellent test lamp/lead. Very well manufactured with a decent wire length. Strong insulated "crocodile" grip. Pointed prod to allow easy testing through wire insulation. Sharp end is protected by a removable cover. Photo is of the tester in operation on my TR6 engine. Certainly wouldn`t hesitate to recommend this item and it is good value for money.

Customer photo review of Emergency Tyre Kit+1
Paul S.
Excellent piece of kit. Really good value for money. I bought this mainly for the tyre inflator to replace my old one which had died after many years of use. The kit comes with all you need to look after your tyres and get you out of a punctured tyre issue. The inflator itself is very compact and the cable storage is better than my original which cost me twice the price. All the kit is packaged within a zippered case and will take up very little room in your vehicles boot or other storage area. ...

Customer photo review of Windscreen Washer Bottle Kit 1.5 ltr
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.

Customer photo review of Stainless Steel 24mm Diameter Illuminated Push Button Switches With 12v RGB Illumination
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...

Customer photo review of Fuel Filter Glass & Chrome With 10mm Hose Tails 108mm
Mike S.
This filter has a secret function. Not only can you see through the glass any accumulated debris (look closely at my pic) but you can unscrew it and clean it out with petrol. But the crowning glory is the bleed feature. When you fit it you will often see an undesirable (potentially fuel pump wrecking) trapped air bubble under the glass. However, if you loosen your hose clamps and with it in situ, undo each end of the filter with two spanner’s, the fuel will bleed out and with it the bubble. Wh...
