PRODUCTSHot 10 in 1 kitThe new addition tothe Hot Devil range oftools is the Hot Devil10 in 1 Kit.The kit contains atrade qualityautomatic ignitionflame gas torch andsoldering iron, six largeassorted tips, resincore solder, stand and asponge all supplied inone sturdy case.The HS-1115K is powered by butane gas and has beenengineered to produce a 1300 degree Celsius flame, 400degree tip for soldering and 500 degrees for hot blowapplications.Hot Devil’s new kit is perfect for jobs such as looseningstubborn or rusted bolts and for wiring and splicingapplications.Easy mount beaconWith utes of all kinds being used by tradesmen across Australia, there isa strong demand for a quality revolving beacon that is simple and easyto mount.Narva’s Optimax revolving beacon fills this need perfectly witha single bolt solid mounting base tailored for easy fitment to thesmall brackets often found on ute and 4x4 sports bars.With the solid single bolt, the large surface area of the commonthree point bases beacons is not required.The design makes the new Narva Optimax single bolt versionnot only suitable for utes, but a wide range of commercial vehiclesand construction machinery where flat surfaces for mounting abeacon is limited.For more information on this ‘hot’ product call 03 9775 0713or visit the website www.hotdevil.com.au for stockists.Narva’s new Optimax revolving beacon has a single bolt solid mounting base foreasy fitment to the small brackets often found on ute and 4x4 sports bars.Manufactured in the UK,the beacon is considered to bethe most reliable and quietestrunning available.Using the samerevolutionary upright directdrive motor found on theexisting Optimax range,rotation is delivered directlyand quietly without the needfor gears, worm drives or belts.Features include dual12/24 Voltage with reversepolarity protection, IP56certification and EMC approval.With the solid singlebolt, the large surfacearea of the commonthree point basesbeacons isnot required.Proven durability is further enhanced with the high impactpolycarbonate lens which is available in red, blue amber andgreen.The Narva Optimax single bolt mounting rotating beacon isavailable under part number 85652A from leading automotive andtransport outlets throughout Australia at a recommended retailprice of $129.More information can be found at the Narva website atwww.narva.com.au or call 1800 113 44330 AU T O M O T I V E A F T E R M A R K E T M AG A Z I N E AU G U ST 2 0 0 8 www.aaaa.com.au
PRODUCTSSolid, flexible bushingsThe use of polyurethane in automotive suspension bushings datesback to the early 1970s when race car enthusiasts looked forimproved handling and suspension performance without having toresort to solid pivot points and connections.Traditionally, polyurethane bushings and mounts were madefrom very hard urethane compounds exceeding 100 on thedurometer scale, where rubber was much softer and measuredless than 58 on the durometer scale.The main reason for the extreme hardness was the use oflow grade polyurethanes.In order to achieve abrasion resistance, tearing andcompression set, the polyurethane needed to be very hard.The second reason for this hardness was how the componentwas designed and manufactured.While high performance polyurethanes were available theywere both very expensive and required complex machinery inorder to process, mix and cast the component.Few customers would pay for the added expense, especiallywhen the automotive performance aftermarket was sellingproducts at a third of the cost.After extensive development and testing of materials that wouldoffer strength and durability, geometry retention and memorywithout the harshness, Whiteline created a progressive, long-chainpolymer compound incorporating polyurethane constituents, whichdeliver the combined physical advantages of a solid bushing, withthe extreme flexibility characteristics of rubber.That range of product is known as Whiteline Plus anddelivers low speed ride quality, high speed chassis control.Whiteline Plus polyurethanes provide the softness needed forlow vibration, noise and harshness characteristics, while displayingextreme abrasion, tear and cut resistance, and near-zerocompression set at lower durometer reading of 70-80. In addition,these performance polyurethanes allowed the polymer chains to bebonded directly to the metal shell, which provided a method offlow control giving the bushing the characteristics of soft ride whileon smooth roads, and when under cornering pressure caused thebushing to become firmer for improved suspension performance.Whiteline has engineered a range of products to cover thecommon passenger, commercial and 4x4 markets and willcontinue to grow the range to service new models and escalatingdemand.The range has long lasting durability and is resistant tochemicals, oils and weathering.It offers enhanced handling, steering response and roadholding stability, increased braking capacities and positive brakepedal ‘feel’.As a result of extensive domestic and export research,Whiteline identified that coloured bushings had a mixedreception, especially in motorsport and restoration markets.As a result, the range is made in a translucent black colour.The Whiteline Plus – Chassis Control (edition 1.1) catalogueis now available from the website www.whitelineplus.com.au ina PDF format.For further information about the Whiteline Plus range,stockists and or general information, call 1300 882 355or email sales@whiteline.com.auAU T O M O T I V E A F T E R M A R K E T M AG A Z I N E AU G U ST 2 0 0 8 31
