We will have in stock this week coloured wheel nuts.
Universal fitment available in M12 x 1.5 and M12 x 1.25 sizes which will fit a number of
makes and models of cars, covering manufacturers such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Ford,
Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Vauxhall etc. Over 100 different
models of cars are catered for.
The light weight internal drive wheel nuts are manufactured from aircraft grade
Aluminum using precision forging equipment.
They are available in 5 anodised colours, red, blue, black, silver and titanium which
makes a welcome change from the normal steel nuts which start to rust after just a few
months. The nuts enhance the look of the alloy wheels and give the car that ‘show
appearance’.
There are 20 nuts per pack which will cover cars equipped with both 4 and 5 stud wheels.
Each nut is 42mm in length and 20mm in diameter.
They are up to 33% stronger and 70% lighter than conventional steel nuts. These nuts
weigh just 21g compared to 70g on average for OEM steel nuts. The lighter weight of the
nuts reduces the overall un-sprung weight of the car which results in better handling and
faster acceleration due to less inertia.
They have been tested to a tightening torque of over 300NM. Maximum tightening torque
for passenger cars is approx 180NM.
The wheel nuts have been specially designed to fit the latest style of aftermarket alloy
wheels which have a fixing hole with a minimum outside diameter of 22mm. These are
required for wheels such as BK, Kosei, Enkei, Fox etc that use the multi-bolt hole design
systems or have narrow fixing holes. These latest internal drive nuts (as opposed to
external drive) allow the nuts to be used with all types of alloy wheels. The external drive
nuts cannot be fitted to such alloys.
External drive nuts are also easily marked by the wheel brace which leaves unsightly
scratches and chips. These nuts being internal drive don’t suffer from this problem.
A key is required for installing and removing the nuts which is available in 3 different
hexagonal size heads (17mm, 19mm & 21mm) to match the vehicles wheel brace.
This key is sold separately as some customers may already have one.
All the nuts are saline spray tested in accordance with BS7479 standards.
They are of the highest quality with a perfect fit and finish.
They are also corrosion and maintenance free.
Normal steel nuts also suffer from being ‘rounded off’ due to cheaper materials being
used which makes it difficult to remove them and therefore they must be cut, drilled or
smashed off which is a great inconvenience and can also damage the wheels.
These nuts do not suffer from this problem as they have been tested and are proven to be
stronger and longer lasting than conventional steel nuts.
Oil Catch Tank
The universal Oil Catch Tank which is suitable for all types of cars is mounted in a cars
engine bay vertically or horizontally.
Its function is to catch the oil and moisture in the blow-by gas that causes carbon and
sludge build-up in the intake system and the engine. It keeps the engine clean even under
hard driving conditions. It also serves as an excellent engine dress up item, enhancing the
engine bay of any car.
The Oil Catch Tank design is compact and is manufactured from billet aluminium. It is
available in two sizes covering both, turbo and non-turbo cars, the difference in the
applications being the size of the tubing and connectors. Turbo applications are supplied
with 15mm diameter tubing and non-turbo applications have 9mm diameter tubing. Each
catch tank comes with a complete fitting kit that allows for easy DIY installation.
They are available in four different colours, Silver, Titanium, Red and Blue and in two
different shapes, rectangular and cylindrical. The cylindrical tank has a capacity of 500cc
and the rectangular tank has a capacity of 600cc. Each tank has a clear sight tube
allowing the user to monitor oil levels in the tank.
The oil catch tanks are corrosion and maintenance free and are supplied with detailed step
by step fitting instructions.
Grounding kit
The Grounding kit is a universal product that fits on to the negative terminal of the car
battery and is suitable for all types of vehicles. Installing a grounding kit is a safe and
reliable way of creating a low resistance ground path which has a number of advantages.
The kit provides direct ground paths from the battery negative to the body, chassis and
specific engine components to give a noticeable improvement in electrical circulation.
This leads to a reduced electrical “noise” effect, which improves ECU signals resulting in
improved throttle response, increased performance and reduction in flat spots. Other
benefits include stabilised idling, brighter headlamps, quicker starting and reduced audio
noise.
The kit consists of a gold plated negative battery terminal and five 99.99% oxygen free 8
gauge copper core grounding cables, pre-attached with gold plated connectors. The
cables are supplied in 40cm, 50cm, 60cm, 80cm and 100cm lengths. These various
lengths allow the cables to be connected to the grounding points of the vehicle.
This kit not only offers all the advantages mentioned above but is also an excellent
engine dress up item.
No expert knowledge is needed for fitting which takes on average, less than an hour.
Detailed fitting instructions are provided outlining suggested grounding cable positions.
Fitting involves the removal of specific, easily accessible pre-existing bolts which are
positioned on effective grounding points around the engine bay, in order to ground each
of the supplied cables. Recommended grounding points are the alternator, wing, intake
manifold, starter motor, slam panel, gearbox housing and rocker cover.
Similar kits have been used amongst WRC (World Rally Championship) racing teams for
years and the increase in BHP has been proven by dyno tests.
