QUICKFIRE REACTIONS
May 26th
The B-G Racing Quick Release system allows for quick and easy removal of the steering wheel from the column, making it much easier to get in and out of any race car or kitcar.
The latest six-hole version provides a bolt-on fitment without any welding being required. A master spline positioned dead-centre allows the steering wheel to be used as a reference point thus ensuring perfect re-alignment every time.
Finished in elegant black and gold anodising, this B-G Racing Quick Release system is manufactured from high-quality lightweight aluminium and hard-wearing steel for both performance and durability.

IT’S A COMPETITION

Good design is, of course, timeless, so MOMO has gone back to its roots and produced a brand new steering wheel with an old school feel that echoes all that is best about MOMO design.

The alloy centre features six hex bolt fixings and a laser-etched MOMO logo with ‘COMPETITION EVO’ product identification in red and a MOMO horn push, making it suitable for road or track use.

NO CLUTCHING AT STRAWS
May 26th
The DYAD Drive System Multi-Disc Clutch Kits from Centerforce are designed to handle the additional torque loads from a modified performance engine. In fact, the DYAD technology means the clutch can handle up to 1300 lb/ft torque.
Centerforce’s patented DYAD System relies on a pair of discs being driven from a single damped hub, ensuring that both discs are fully-damped. This results in better drivability and improved noise reduction. The set-up also has a clever anti-rattle system that uses specialised washers to suppress floater rattle without inhibiting the clutch operation. The clutch kits come pre-assembled with ARP hardware.
