Tungsten Ballasts For Racecar on 2040-parts.com
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
|
This is a Tungsten alloy ballast for use as a racecar counterweight. It is used in racecars because of Tungsten's amazing density. Even though this block measures only 6"x 3 5/8" x 2 5/8" it weighs appx 35 lbs. As a point of comparison an exact same shaped block of lead would only weigh appx 21 lbs! A block of pure steel only appx 15 lbs! So if space is critical (like in a racecar) this is the biggest bang for your buck. The tungsten alloy is called Densalloy. The chemical composition is as follows: 95% Tungsten 3.5% Nickel (used as a binder) and 1.5% iron.
There is a small threaded hole on either end (does not go through the block) that is off-set by about 1/4" from center. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks! |

Chris Evans CarFest: It’s all coming together
Wed, 08 Aug 2012Chris Evans’ CarFest South & CarFest North are on track to deliver great weekends of petrolhead delight at Laverstoke Park Farm & Cholmondeley Castle. Listeners to Chris Evans’ Radio 2 Breakfast Show discovered Chris’s plans for his very own car festival – to benefit the BBC Children in Need Charity – when Chris was looking for a way to take his mind off bread for Lent, and CarFest was born. The CarFest plan was nothing more than a brief outline for a great weekend – super cars, great food and terrific music – but soon gained a life of its own as word spread of Chris’s plans.
It looks like Aston Martin could be getting AMG/Mercedes platforms too
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Mercedes/AMG platforms would make the Lagonda SUV a reality We’d been expecting Aston Martin to get access to Mercedes platforms ever since the Lagonda SUV – based on the underpinnings of the Mercedes GL - arrived in all its ‘beauty’ in 2009. The Lagonda SUV was met with wails of anguish from lovers of Aston Martin’s timeless beauty but, despite the horror at the looks of the SUV, the prospect that Aston Martin could be heading down a collaboration route with Mercedes was welcome. It was welcome because without the support of a major car maker – and access to its technology – Aston Martin would have little chance of a bright future; there is no way a minnow like Aston Martin could afford the development cost of new engines and platforms.
