2. Roof Rail Weatherstrip Set for 1955-57 Chevy Nomad & Pontiac Safari Hardtop Wagons
Steele Rubber Products, a leader in automotive restoration, is excited to announce the launch of a new Roof Rail Weatherstrip Set specifically designed for the 1955-57 Chevrolet Nomad and Pontiac Safari Hardtop Wagons (PN 60-0426-68), which addresses a common challenge faced by classic car restorers.

Traditionally, enthusiasts face challenges with insufficient weatherstrip solutions for this critical component, essential for safeguarding against water, wind, and road noise. Steele Rubber Products’ new set presents an innovative solution featuring meticulously engineered, ozone-resistant EPDM rubber that enhances durability and performance.

This weatherstrip set features precision-molded ends that provide a factory-quality fit. It enhances the original design by substituting a cumbersome metal core with a flexible yet robust layout. A brass core at the ends ensures structural integrity and a durable seal.

Steele Rubber Products also offers a detailed installation guide for smooth and effortless installation setup.

3. Proform’s Digital Variable Speed Fan Controller
Summit Racing Equipment is excited to introduce Proform’s Digital Variable Speed Fan Controller, an advanced solution for optimizing engine temperatures.

Designed for electric fans with brushed motors, this controller accommodates up to 60 amps (30 amps per fan in dual configurations), and features short-circuit overload protection. Its user-friendly design includes A/C, manual override on/off wiring, and a digital display with mode buttons for temperature settings in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Achieve optimal engine temperature management with Proform’s Digital Variable Speed Fan Controller, now available at Summit Racing Equipment.

4. TMI Products Includes Bench Seats
TMI Products, the leader in custom automotive interiors, has expanded its online seat configurator to include bench seats, enhancing the ordering process for customers. Initially limited in options, the configurator has undergone significant improvements and now offers various colors, materials, patterns, and stitching choices.

Customers can design bench seats using the same customization options available for bucket seats, including popular DDL (Double-Diamond with Lines) and AR2 patterns. Exciting additions like the Sport H and Sport Q patterns introduced at SEMA will be available later this year.

The streamlined online configurator lets users choose their vehicle’s year, make, model, and view compatible molded door panels. After customizing their seat, users can export an image of their design via email. The configurator also shows the correct seat bracket options and generates a detailed build sheet, including pricing, ready for checkout.

TMI Products’ user-friendly configurator streamlines the process of creating the ideal bench seat interior, making it enjoyable for both enthusiasts and casual browsers alike.

6. KWIK PERFORMANCE WIDE-MOUNT MINI A/C BRACKET FOR LS ENGINES
Kwik Performance introduces a Wide-Mount Mini A/C Relocation Bracket designed explicitly for LS engines. This bracket securely mounts the Sanden mini compressor (SD7B10) just outside the passenger side valve cover, powered by a single six-rib serpentine belt. Part numbers are available for all three common LS balancer and water pump combinations.

Unlike other brackets, the Kwik Performance Wide-Mount Mini A/C Relocation Bracket is compact, measuring only 15.24 inches wide from the engine’s center to the compressor’s outer edge. This design is particularly beneficial as it maintains low hood clearance while being more space efficient.

Kwik also offers two complete LS serpentine systems featuring the Wide-Mount Mini A/C Relocation Bracket. The first is the LS3 Crate Engine Serpentine Package-Sanden Mini, and the second is the LS Truck Pull-Out Serpentine Package-Sanden Mini. The truck pull-out package includes an LS3 Corvette balancer and water pump, creating an exceptionally compact LS setup that accommodates low-profile intake manifolds.

Both packages are equipped with everything needed to complete your crate engine, including a wide-mount mini-A/C compressor bracket, an alternator/power steering bracket optimized for space, a Sanden SD7B10 mini-A/C compressor, a 165-amp Powermaster alternator, a Type 2 power steering pump with pulley and hose barb, a power steering fluid reservoir and feed hose, and a Gates six-rib serpentine belt.

The benefits of the packages are that all components are sourced from one supplier, ensuring compatibility, saving time by avoiding multiple suppliers, all parts being brand new, ensuring reliability, and having a single-source warranty and technical support.

Also, the Sanden Mini has a compact design, reduced weight, and a higher rpm rating, making it ideal for your LS engine.
