36 Motorsports

Hi, I'm Scott McDonnell, Director of Motorsports here for Bilstein. We're indianapolis at the PRI Show 2014. So we're debuting here the new 36mm universal motorsport strut. This is an inverted monotube strut designed for the custom fabricator who's building a special race car or an application that is relatively unique. So this product has a 36mm bore piston inside of it, inverted monotube design, 14mm piston shaft. It comes with a threaded housing, the upper portion is plated, the lower portion is unplated so that the fabricator can weld on whatever is the required mounts that they have at the bottom. It comes in various lengths, we have 4. 6 inch to 6. 6 inch stroke. The upper stem is unmachined so that way it can be machined to fit whatever your upper mount is. If you use a monoball camber plate it can be machined to fit that or it can be machined to fit an original equipment upper mount as well. The expected use of this product would be on sports cars that have a strut type suspension, both front and rear, but also very common to see on an oval track car especially The 36mm universal motorsport strut is the baby brother really to this 46mm version as well. This one is really suited to rally type cars, but one of the things that they both offer is as they come in a non-adjustable damping. But we have the ability to upgrade either one of these to a single adjustable shaft or a double adjustable shaft, they are very easy to update that way.
