4. Adjustable Leaf Spring Pads
Speedway Motors leaf spring pads start as ¼-inch plate steel that are laser cut and CNC-machined to fit your 3-inch-diameter axle tubes and work with both stock and aftermarket leaf spring U-bolts. They ship as bare steel components, so there is no paint or powdercoating to remove for welding. The rear axle spring perches feature a slotted leaf spring center bolt pin pocket that is machined to accept the included offset key inserts requiring no welding of the insert to the pad. The kit includes a pair of leaf spring pads and a pair of each key insert for 0-inch offset, 1/8 -inch offset, or ¼-inch offset and are reversible.

5. Get Pumped
New for 2021 is the Granatelli Motor Sports 12-Volt Electric Vacuum Pump Kit. The Granatelli design utilizes a rotary vein-style pump with an enlarged diaphragm to ensure maximum suction while remaining quiet and vibration-free. Utilizing an MAVP (manifold absolute vacuum pressure) sensor, it eliminates the need for old-school vacuum switches and relays. It comes in four standard configurations: bare (no outer shell), black, chrome, or gunmetal gray ABS plastic outer shell. It also comes with 5 feet of 3/8 -inch supporting vacuum hose, proper wiring harnesses, and vibration dampeners all while maintaining a common mounting hole configuration.

Comprised of two premium-quality 2K acrylic urethane clears, the system can reproduce a range of gloss levels—making it ideal for performing refinish repairs on low-gloss finishes. EC5515 Low VOC Matte Clear and EC5517 Low VOC Semi-Gloss Clear offer the versatility of being used alone or mixed together to more precisely reproduce the OE finish, especially when adjustments are needed to match a range of gloss levels.
