Heusinkveld Elastomer Kit Ultimate +
Heusinkveld Elastomer Kit Ultimate +
DESCRIPTION
Do you want to change your brake pedal resistance but you’ve misplaced the elastomers which were supplied with the original product? This kit can be used to replenish your set of elastomers for the Ultimate+ brake pedal as well as the elastomers in the Classic Sim Pedals Ultimate Upgrade Kit.
These elastomers cannot be used to replace the green-white rubbers of the Classic Sim Pedals Ultimate.
Please note: This kit is not an upgrade. Your Ultimate+ brake pedal is already equipped with our latest injection molded thermoset brake elastomers. This can be verified by checking if the rubbers/elastomers have markings on the side indicating length and resistance (‘soft’ or ‘hard’).
ADVANTAGES
- The key advantages of using these new elastomers compared to the early spec rubbers are as follows:
- A much more progressive brake feel. When applying force to the brake initially there will be more travel. Then the brake pedal feel gradually but very clearly stiffens.
- Firmer bump and rebound characteristics. Especially on rebound (eg. when you decrease the force you put on the brake) a smaller decrease of brake force is required for the pedal to start moving back to its starting position.
- Further improved durability. Extensive testing has shown that these new elastomers have a near zero failure rate and show no performance degradation even after 1 million cycles.
- We’d like to stress that this is an optional upgrade. Earlier spec brake rubbers will also serve you very well for years to come, albeit with slightly different performance characteristics.
