Custom-made Shim Set (De Dion axles)

Manufactured from precision laser cut stainless steel, use of our shims is a unique engineering solution to ensure highly accurate set-up of toe and camber settings for the rear hubs on De Dion axle Caterhams.

As well as being essential for an accurate race car set-up these shims are ideal where the use of slick tyres requires a rear camber change.

 Email us your order for a shim set (10 Shims - 2 x each of 5 sizes) for £36.00 inc VAT and delivery.

Farringdon Instruments RCA65 with delta function

We provide a specialist installation service for the Farringdon Instruments lap timer that includes fitting the wheel speed sensor  provided for the new delta function (aka predictive lap) capability.

This is an easy to use lap timer that operates using the beacon installed on most race circuits.  The new delta function shows a real-time +/- against your best lap.  This feature was previously only available with more expensive data logging equipment. 

The RCA65 kit includes a wheel speed sensor and, if required, a stand-alone Farringdon pit wall beacon is available as kit RCA66.  

 Email us for more information about fitting a Farringdon lap timer.

Real Essential Resin Bead Seats

The Real Essential bead seat system is the optimum method to build your race car seat. All drivers can benefit from an enhanced driving experience by having direct connection with their race cars.

Even if the manufacturers seat is available then, apart from poor fit, it is likely to seat the driver too high in the car compromising the optimum driver position. With taller drivers there can be insufficient clearance between helmet and roll cage which, without correction, will fail scrutineering. 

The problems with the messy two-part expanding foam seat building method are well known; the rapid cure time makes any seat-fitting adjustment near impossible. The resin bead solution has a longer cure time (50 minutes +) that is not subject to the vagaries of rapidly expanding foam.  As the seat structure hardens, the resin bead seat outline can be fine-tuned to ensure a close fit to the driver.

In  terms of driver safety, the resin bead seat offers much more impact resistance than foam which is why resin bead seats are the preferred choice in most categories of racing around the world.  The Real Essential seat can be finished with the traditional tape but is also offered with an option for a professionally fitted race cloth cover that can include personalised logos.
