Don’t worry we have you covered. To keep your under-hood wires, cables, and hoses cool and protected, it pays to go for the GOLD. Design Engineering Inc.’s new GOLD Line Sleeving is manufactured from the company’s high-temperature metalized polyimide lamination and bonded to a robust, 20-ounce heat-treated glass fiber base material. Available in sheaths, shrouds and a cover, DEI’s GOLD sleeving products are able to reflect direct heat up to 800˚F! Heat Sheath GOLD is available in five sizes from ¾ x 36 inches to 2 ¼ x 36 inches. The sheaths feature a lock weave pattern and high-temperature hook-and-loop fastening system for fast, secure installation. Heat Sheath GOLD is also available in custom dimensions. Heat Shroud GOLD is available in ½ to 1 ¼ x 36 inch sizes and 2 to 2 ½ x 36 inch sizes, and it’s constructed from the same high-temperature materials as the sheaths, but with the added convenience of a hook-and-loop closure with open edges. Installers simply wrap the shroud around whatever needs protection and close the edges, without the need to remove one end of the connected wires, cables or hoses. Heat Shroud GOLD is also available in custom dimensions. Cool Cover GOLD is primarily used to cover cold air tubes to reflect heat for a cooler, denser and more powerful air charge. Cool Cover GOLD measures 28 inches in length, which can be trimmed to length and built to accommodate up to 4-inch O.D. air tubes. Constructed with a hook-and-loop edge design, it is designed for ease of installation … easy on, easy off.

Mac’s is excited to introduce a new bracket to the family of weld-on tie-down products. The Mac’s Flat-Back Bracket creates a permanent anchor point and is ideal for flat, metal surfaces like a chassis frame arm or cross-member. Using Mac’s Flat-Back Bracket is a great alternative to a conventional axle strap, eliminating contact with critical components such as brake lines, wires, and hoses. The Mac’s Flat-Back Bracket is made from 0.250-inch thick steel tubing cut on a tube laser and tumbled for a smooth finish. The low-lying design is built to accept the Mac’s Twisted Snap Hook. These brackets are sold individually or as a pair. All Mac’s tie-down products are proudly made to order in Idaho. Mac’s Tie Downs 800-666-1586 www.macstiedowns.com Billet Control Vintage Air releases new billet control panel for ’64-’66 Chevrolet C10 pickups. The OEM factory four-lever plastic control panel is often worn and damaged from years of use or may not be the best match for an updated interior theme. Additionally, many of these trucks utilized basic rotary controls from the factory. The new Vintage Air control panels provide Chevrolet pickup, Suburban and panel truck owners with a great way to upgrade the functionality of their climate control system and improve the look of their dash. These 6061-T6 machined aluminum upgrade panels bolt in and feature LED backlighting and A/C mode indicators, as well as variable slide adjustments for fan speed, temperature, and air delivery selections. The Vintage Air ’64-’66 Chevrolet C10 billet aluminum control panels are available in two finishes: chrome bezel (Part #473275) or a matte finish black-anodized bezel (Part #473276). These panels mount in the original dash opening and include new mounting hardware and a complete wiring harness. Vintage Air 800-862-6658 www.vintageair.com Perfect Piston ICON’s FHR Series pistons for GM LS engines give you the benefits of a custom-made forged piston at an affordable, off-the-shelf price. FHR stands for Formed Head Relief, a process where the valve reliefs are formed as the piston blank is pressed into the die, creating a strong, light forging. Many of the pistons with domed heads are solid, which allows ICON to tailor the dome height for specific compression ratios. FHR Series Pistons are forged from low expansion 4032 aluminum alloy to maintain tighter piston-to-wall clearances. That means better cylinder sealing, lower cylinder wear and OEM noise levels, making them ideal for street and lightly boosted applications.
