BUSINESS – PRODUCTS CONSUMABLES Pagid RBF brake fluid


Braking specialist, Pagid, has recently released a new high performance brake fluid specially formulated for racing applications. It has a typical dry boiling point of 328degC (622degF) and is for motorsport use only. In addition to guarding against vapour lock, the fluid maintains its viscosity, lubricity and compressibility performance at extreme temperatures, helping to maintain braking system reliability and repeatability.

PIT EQUIPMENT Mac fast air / impact ratchet WORKSHOP TOOLS Eco-Jet water jet pump


Water jet cutting specialist, Jet Edge, has recently introduced the Eco-Jet water jet pump, a new environmentally and budget-friendly unit. Producing 55KSI from a 30bhp motor, the Eco-Jet features an efficient direct drive pump design that consumes up to 40 per cent less electricity than a regular 50bhp pump, but has the same pressure


output. The Eco-Jet produces up to 1gpm of ultra-high pressure (UHP) water for precision cutting, cleaning and surface preparation applications. It runs a .015in orifice and can power most common water jet cutting systems and water jet tools. See www.jetedge.com for more information


Mac Tools claims its new 500rpm AR38RP air impact ratchet is the fastest air ratchet on the market, and is designed with safety in mind. The tool generates an impressive 74.5Nm (55ft.lbs) of torque and is optimised to prevent shock being transmitted during use, especially when fasteners tighten down and the torque suddenly increases. The AR38RP 3/8in air impact


ratchet combines an impact wrench with an air ratchet, and incorporates an impact assembly


PIT EQUIPMENT Autotel racing radios


Communication and radio specialist, Autotel, has recently released its new Pit-Lite headset system. Designed as a lightweight alternative to box-type headphone and mic systems used by pit crews and mechanics, the Pit-Lite is compact enough to fit under a helmet (now a requirement in many series, including the WEC).


The units feature custom fit, clip-on twin earpieces and a dynamic microphone with high noise-cancelling performance, mounted on a flexible boom. Two button, belt-mountable control packs are also available to coordinate pit-to-car communications. See www.digitalracingradios. com for more information

with a single dog clutch ahead of the ratchet assembly, which allows the high output torque of this model to be applied safely and easily. An air regulator and throttle


lever are included, both of which are housed in the comfort-grip handle, all designed to make operation as smooth and as comfortable as possible. See www.mactools.com for more information
