Cleckheaton, U.K. – Textar has expanded its aftermarket product range with the addition of expanding locks to ensure reliable emergency-brake function.
Damage to expanding locks is common in certain drum brake designs as the condition of the emergency can only be determined when the brake discs are removed.
Most manufacturers recommend replacing expanding locks every four years. Textar has recognized this as a key area when it comes to brake replacement and wants to ensure workshops are always supplied with premium quality aftermarket parts.
Utilizing cutting-edge technology, Textar products are precision engineered to offer maximum safety, performance and comfort.
