What’s New… (April 01, 2007)

Stabilizer Links

Beck/Arnley’s all new stabilizer links come with attaching hardware, keeping the technician in mind and going beyond form, fit and function. Elastic stop nuts are used for most applications, but if a standard castle nut is used, a new cotter pin is supplied as old nuts are often rusted and threads strip during removal.

Digital Cam Degree System

The CamLogic Digital Degree System allows the serious engine builder to degree the camshaft in any engine type with extreme accuracy and in record time. The old-fashioned degree wheel has been replaced by a new digital degree system with an electronic encoder and digital display. This patented system enables the high-performance engine builder to degree a camshaft to one-tenth of a degree, in about half the time of using a degree wheel. This translates to greater precision, more horsepower and torque, and faster engine builds, all of which affect the bottom line. The compact design of the CamLogic enclosure allows the camshaft and timing gear to be completely accessible throughout the degreeing process. Camshaft adjustment and removal is possible without having to disassemble the CamLogic System from the engine.

Cargo Control Web

Built to catch cargo rather than prey, the Spidy Gear Bed Web uses Mother Nature’s own design to quickly and effectively secure items in pickup truck beds or rooftop cargo racks. Constructed from heavy duty 6-millimetre, 100% stretch shock cord radiating from a stainless steel centre ring, the Bed Web stretches to one and a half times its size to engulf both even and uneven loads. Items stay securely positioned using moulded hooks, and once unfastened, the Bed Web returns to its original, un-stretched form.
