Miscellaneous
Small parts and consumables for the workshop: self-locking nuts, stainless steel wire and corresponding pliers, Techflex sleeving, 3M tapes (helicopter tape, fabric-backed tape, Dual Lock Velcro), mounting clamps, Copaslip, Autosol, WD-40.
Autosol
Autosol: a metal cleaning and polishing paste, useful for keeping the car's visible components and parts looking their best.
Copaslip
Copaslip: copper-based anti-seize paste for threads and joints exposed to high temperatures (e.g., exhaust system fasteners); it facilitates assembly and disassembly by preventing seizing.
Self Locking Nuts
Self-locking nuts for motorsports, designed to prevent loosening under vibration and stress: a critical safety feature in the assembly of a race car.
Safety wire
Stainless steel safety wire to secure bolts, caps, and fittings against accidental loosening, as required by best practices and many regulations.
Techflex Sleeves
Techflex sleeving to protect and organize wiring and tubing in a race car: abrasion- and heat-resistant, it gives the electrical system a clean, professional look.
Fabric-backed adhesive tape
Woven adhesive tape (gaffer/duct tape) from the pit: strong and versatile, for quick repairs and temporary fastenings during race weekend.
3M Helicopter Tape
3M Helicopter Tape: a high-strength protective film (designed for the leading edges of helicopter blades) used to protect the bodywork from abrasion caused by gravel and debris in the most exposed areas.
Fastening Rivets
Safety wire pliers
Safety wire pliers: quickly and evenly wrap and tension stainless steel wire—the right tool for making professional-quality safety ties.
3M Dual Lock Velcro
3M Dual Lock Velcro: a pressure-sensitive fastening system that is much stronger than traditional Velcro, ideal for securely but removably attaching panels, control units, and accessories.
WD-40
WD-40: a multipurpose workshop lubricant and penetrating oil, designed to loosen stuck parts, protect against moisture, and make minor repairs in the garage easier.
