Description
The 16525 is engineered for the high-vibration environment of a race car. By providing a solid aluminum frame to sandwich the shift boot against the chassis, it creates a tight seal that helps keep heat, fumes, and track debris out of the driver’s compartment. Its low-profile design ensures it won’t interfere with the driver’s movement or the throw of the shifter.
Detailed Technical Specifications
1. Billet Aluminum Construction
-
6061-T6 Material: CNC-stamped or machined from high-grade aluminum for an ideal strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike plastic frames, this aluminum unit will not warp or crack under the extreme heat radiated from the transmission and exhaust.
-
Natural Finish: Features a clean, professional finish that can be left raw or easily painted/powder-coated to match your interior.
-
Precision Edges: All corners and edges are deburred to prevent tearing the shift boot or snagging on safety gear.
2. Secure Mounting Interface
-
Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes: Features a symmetrical bolt pattern designed for easy installation using rivets, self-tapping screws, or 10-32 hardware.
-
Universal Sizing: Dimensions are optimized to fit most standard racing shift boots, providing enough surface area to create a reliable seal against the transmission tunnel.
-
Rigid Clamping Force: The thickness of the frame is engineered to apply even pressure across the entire perimeter of the boot, preventing the edges from pulling out during aggressive shifting.
3. Cockpit Safety & Comfort
-
Debris & Heat Barrier: When paired with a quality boot, this frame is the first line of defense against “hot-foot” by sealing the opening where the shifter exits the cockpit.
-
Fume Protection: Helps prevent engine and gear-oil odors from entering the driver’s cabin, which is critical for driver focus during long-distance endurance races.
