In addition to the new Eastwood Plasma Cutter, which we’ve reviewed recently, the team at Frost has also introduced to its range of restorers’ equipment this MIG welder.

The Eastwood MIG 175 Welder for steel and aluminum is said to produce excellent bead-quality and capabilities that match, and apparently exceed in some areas, even the most expensive competition.

This MIG welder is supplied with a free spool gun and has a 30 per cent duty cycle at 135amps, and 30-175amp welding range. It can fed wire at 58- to 471-inches per minute.

Veloce Publishing has recently released a new book that’s said to be the first title covering Sprite Caravans and which is in turn also the first UK book to cover a single brand of touring caravan.

Sam Alper, the founder of Sprite, marketed caravanning as a pastime and proved that caravans were safe and easy to tow by undertaking several epic journeys. His simple designs were also appealing to buyers.

This book examines just how prolific the brand was – not only in the UK, but on a global basis too. It tells how the Sprite brand mastered mass-production in caravans and, with plenty of illustrations, how it pioneered testing procedures.

Classic car enthusiast Adam Booth runs a website that supplies his specially-designed classic car wiring diagrams. They may be of interest to readers as according to Adam, his user-friendly diagrams simplify the often confusing original diagrams.
