Leonard Stolk, MD of Dutch classic Porsche specialist, Twinspark Racing, announces a major distribution deal for lightweight Porsche parts and classic racing equipment, made in Britain by Yorkshire-based EB Motorsport.

The 2011 Dutch Historic GT champions, TwinSpark Racing, and twice World Sportscar Master champions, EB Motorsport, forged their agreement while both MDs were still in racing overalls, following the 2012 Masters round at Zandvoort in the Netherlands.

We’ve sold lots of these engine mounts to Porsche owners and dealers all over Europe. A sporty alternative to the factory engine mounts, these Semi-Solid engine mounts fit all Porsche 996 and 997 models from 1999 to 2012. Crafted with WEVO quality from aluminum, stainless steel and polyurethane, their purpose is to sharpen the connection between moving mass of engine and [...]
