Harrop Meets Godzilla! PE Racing releases Mounting Clamps

Harrop Engineering is pleased to welcome our little Ford Godzilla to the family, displacing 445ci or 7.3L we’re excited to see the potential of this all new,

small block, cam in iron block push rod V8, when we add boost with our new TVS Supercharger. The narrow cam in block design will make this motor a favorite of those making engine swaps where lots of room is required. Check out our video reviewing the performance potential of our all new TVS2650 Supercharger with renowned engine builder and drag racer, Frank Marchese from Dandy Engines. PE Racing is proud to announce the launching of their new PE Mounting clamps. This new product range provides an easier, faster and stronger solution to mounting panels, cables or objects securely to common tubes sizes and roll cages on and off road. The line of clamps includes an array of styles and sizes to best suit your needs. The main purpose of the mounting clamps is to eliminate the need for welding brackets to tubular safety cages and structures. As welding has to tendency to deform, place additional stress and in most cases weaken tubular structural members. Welding across the tube is usually seen as the worst thing you can do, so people suggest to weld along the tube. However, in this case the weld has the tendency to shrink thus curving and/or bending the tube. In addition to this, you need to undertake surface preparation and a final coating. It is this problem that we have repeatedly experienced and therefore have designed and offered a solution. The line of PE Clamps simply provides an advantage over welding mounts due to creating a non-permanent joint without the need of fabrication. It makes it easy to replace and adjust the position by simply unscrewing the clamp. Essentially, if you change your mind, it’s an easy and affordable fix that sustains the material’s strength, unlike welding.

The line of PE clamps includes - Steering Wheel/Helmet Hooks - Tube to Panel Mounting Bracket - Tube Clamp Mounting Brackets - Fuel Pump/Filter Mounting Brackets When we design and develop new products, safety is a huge factor. These clamps, like our Pedal Assemblies are made from high-strength aircraft material with a hard anodized finished. This is to ensure stiffness and resistance to highly corrosive environments. Not only does it provide safety, but it’s designed to last. For items up to 5kg a single clamp can be used, for larger heavier items, we recommend using multiple clamps. Our specialised Fuel Pump/Filter Mounting Bracket’s are designed to secure Bosch and Mahle products securely and safely with a rubber lining to eliminate vibrating effects. The Steering Wheel/Helmet Hooks is another one of our specialties, designed to mount on the inside of a roll cage providing the driver with a holder for their steering wheel and/or helmet. The Tube Clamps and Tube to Panel clamps make customisation easy, as you can add your own products to the PE Clamps. We designed the clamps with motorsport in mind. However, with a little creativity, the possibilities are endless. The line of PE Mounting Clamps are now available for purchase on PE Racing’s online store.

Forgeline and Trans Am are excited to usher in a new era of TA1-class wheel and tire technology, thanks to a revised 18-inch wheel and tire package provided by Trans Am Series partners Pirelli and Forgeline Motorsports. This new setup has been track-tested to deliver significantly improved lap times. “We are very excited to welcome Forgeline as a valued Trans Am partner,” said John Clagett, Trans Am Race Company president. “With the new updates, the Trans Am class cars will pick up speed, and also improve driveability and reduce heat to the wheel, tire and brakes. Once the cars have been tuned to the new tire, the class will become the fastest GT class in the world, while continuing to have the least amount of driver aids.” Forgeline Motorsports developed the new TA3R wheel specifically for Trans Am TA1-class racing applications. Forgeline was chosen, in part, thanks to our extensive 27 year history of motorsport wheel development at the highest levels of automotive racing. Forgeline’s TA3R wheel for the Trans Am series

is manufactured in the USA, at our Dayton, Ohio manufacturing and engineering center. The TA3R is a custom made-to-order three piece wheel consisting of a wheel center that is precisionmachined from a 6061-T6 aerospace forging, mated to modular 6061-T6 spun-aluminum outer barrels, and assembled with high-tech titanium fasteners.

Each wheel is finished by hand and custom powder coated, prior to assembly, in virtually any possible combination of unique team-specified custom colors. The TA3R is the latest evolution of Forgeline’s GT wheel development program that has previously given birth to a long line of race-winning road course racing wheels. Though the TA3R was engineered through hours of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) specific to the geometry and cornering load demands of the Trans Am TA1-class race cars. “Manufacturing wheels for the next generation of Trans Am racing is literally the realization of my childhood dreams, because Dave and I have always been racing fans, and we grew up watching Trans Am racing in the 1980s,” says Forgeline founder and global sales manager Steve Schardt. “We couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity to help Trans Am competitors move their performance threshold to the next level!” Forgeline’s TA3R wheel is available to order immediately and will take the green flag at the beginning of the 2022 Trans Am racing season.
