    The new Road Race Power Race-and-Pinion from Flaming River features a quick ratio design to allow for a rack gain of 2.27 inches per revolution of the pinion. It has an adjustable positive-lock rack gear that will maintain a positive mesh between the rack gear and the pinion gear during vibration, making it ideal for racing applications, said the company.

    The rack-and-pinion’s travel, pivot points, length and inner end dimensions are all customizable to suit a variety of vehicle applications. It comes with low-profile braided stainless pressure lines for added clearance and is made of all new components.

    The 1-inch diameter rack gear is made of hardened and precision-ground 1040 steel for extra strength and longevity. The product has been fluid- and pressure-tested and certified, according to Flaming River. The unit weighs about 15 pounds, without the inner ends.

    Livorsi Automotive has released a new billet hub adapter kit designed to allow the user to quickly and easily remove a wheel and hub assembly. The quick-release hub also doubles as a theft deterrent, as it allows the driver to take the car’s steering wheel off, rendering the vehicle inoperable, the company said.

    The versatile hub will fit steering wheels with a three- or six-bolt pattern and will bolt to any Livorsi steering wheel offering, including the Isotta and Momo models, as well as steering wheels from many other brands.

    The kit includes a billet aluminum hub, a 3/4-inch stainless steel shaft that will weld onto the steering column, 10-32 thread pitch hardware and an aluminum polished finish.

    One of the most beautiful steering wheels to ever grace a Ford interior has to be the famous Crestliner wheel; it’s a design that oozes 50’s-era styling like no other. This wheel has become a highly sought-after piece for the way it naturally enhances a street rod or custom car interior.
    Now, thanks to JULIANO’S, you can stop combing swap meets for a beat-up one. This new Crestliner wheel is a beautiful copy of the original ‘49-‘50 Ford accessory, and unlike the originals, it’s machined from solid aluminum so it will never crack.

    Flaming River Industries has released a new synthetic power steering fluid that’s formulated for high-performance steering systems.
    The new steering fluid is available in 1-quart bottles and will reduce operating temperatures and fluid expansion. It will also resist foaming and will increase the life of power steering systems by reducing internal wear and tear, according to the company.
    Flaming River’s Synthetic Power Steering Fluid is recommended for all power steering applications. To use, first purge the vehicle of its current power steering fluid and replace it with Flaming River’s fluid. It will mix with any trace amounts of other steering fluid left behind. It’s non-toxic, non-hazardous and made in the USA.
