It's an Espresso machine. No, no wait, it's a Tri-State Fragistat. Flux capacitor? I got it, I got it, it's a left handed limited edition, hand signed by Jan, bottle opener!
Now what do I win??????

A double-sided nut-rest. For one to rest their nuts on. From either side.

I prefer cashews... but any nuts would probably work.

When resting one's nuts on the RMW double-sided nut-rest, at least 10lbft of torque can be gained on the butt dyno. Fifteen if you hum a Culture Club tune at the same time.

What, I didn't win yet......?

Ok Ok Ok, it's a key iradiateathingamobober. It guarantees the wings on the key face the right direction when you start the car. No? OK, it's the magic piston, cousin to the magic 8 ball, you shake it and it helps you name your Mini

RMW sure is reaching into new markets and territory here. Some of the vendors better watch out, Jan is blazing new ground.

Nicer than some of the Hemi Heads Ive seen

Great job with that jug head, better design than some of the hemi heads Ive seen.

all our custom race headers come this way with the O2

Mystery Part

It has to be a right-handed Kenutin Valve.

You just have to make sure it isn't in the Gangla Mode after installation, if so do the following:

Insert a 5/8 in socket and speedhandle into the manual drive shaft and rotate at twice the normal speed until the timing pin engages.
