Default Useful items for the track

Listers,

I am manufacturing 3 items which are useful for track junkies.
Full details at TraqJunk.com.

Brake Tool -- greatly ease the process of depressing the spring which holds the retaining pin. Takes 1 second with 1 hand, and the spring stays depressed after you remove your hand, so you can easily remove the retaining pin. Price $49.95


Seatbelt buckle -- for use when you're on the track with track belts and you need to silence the stock alarm/buzzer. Price $24.95

Carry Box for Traqmate -- custom rigid box with padded compartments for transporting your expensive Traqmate to/from the track, or just for storing it. Price $49.95

Full details and photos at Traqjunk.com

what would be really cool is a real nice and easy bluetooth ear/head piece that fits in helmets and can be sync'd to another headpiece really quick and easy.
I think something like that would sell like hot cakes. Maybe I should startup a new business. hmm

Hey,

I have what I have, and they're very useful, particularly the Brake Tool and seatbelt buckle.

Look at the website traqjunk.com for details.

Interesting idea !!! A combo track seatbelt buckle and bottle opener !!!!

Maybe we can do that. ....

In the meanwhile you can always buy the plain one for your track needs and use an existing bottle opener for your drinking needs.

Someone, please make a brake caliper spreader specifically made for our brembos.... Im tired of using channel locks to spread the pads, very clumsy. Universal spreaders are crap and don't work as good as channel locks.

I use a brake pad spreader that I bought a few years ago.

Works like a charm -- but sorry: I don't remember where I got it.

Redridge and others ....

I expect that TraqJunk will soon be carrying a brake pad spreader. I'll let you know as soon as we have it.

In the meantime go to traqjunk.com and see our

+ 996 GT3 (and other) Brake Tool for easy pad removal for Brembo-type brakes
+ seatbelt buckle to silence the annoying alarm/buzzer when you're on the track
+ Traqmate padded carry box

This just in: we now are offering a Brake Pad Spreader for sale. only $39.95.

And we confirm that the Brake Tool works on many 996 models. Replace the pads in a fraction of the time.

See Traqjunk.com for details
