Chaz Davies to appear on FAI stand at Autopromotec

Along with an impressive 40m2  stand showcasing the broad, diverse product range and new catalogues that FAI offer the aftermarket, WorldSBK legend Chaz Davies will be signing autographs for visitors to our stand on the 24th May from 12pm – 2pm.

FAI have a rich motorsport heritage and have enjoyed sponsorship of some incredibly talented individuals on the track. Somebody that we recognised as a strong character and performer years ago was Chaz Davies, a gifted motorcycle racer that has seen fantastic career progression from the start in 1999 when he debuted on a Minimoto. Before reaching the World Superbike Championship, Chaz had already raced for one season in the 125cc World Championship, four in the 250cc and one in MotoGP in addition to competing in the AMA Supersport Championship.

In this year’s season, Chaz rocketed to a brilliant advantage after achieving podium spots in both races of the first round at Phillip Island, involving a thrilling battle that went down to the wire with Chaz only missing the win in race 2 by 25 thousandths of a second. Round 2 hosted in Thailand then resulted in a 2nd and 6th spot after the Welshman experienced issues with his throttle.

Despite having an issue in the last round, the spanish leg of the 2017 championship, hosted in Aragon, Spain offered a nail biting face off with the current leader Jonathan Rea which ultimately led to a race win for Chaz leaving in 2nd place overall.

Along with the proud sponsorship of Chaz Davies, we are also delighted to announce our latest Valve Train catalogue. As well as a new look, the 2017 catalogue contains 1300 pages full of all makes applications, including 182 new part numbers including 86 new valves, 15 new followers, 21 new rocker arms and 60 new camshafts. Along with the usual application pages and part number buyers guide, we have also added an engine code buyers guide. This new feature will help to identify the correct part for the vehicle by engine code, which will in turn direct you to the correct application page and panel number. There is a full OE cross reference and images in the buyer’s guide to further assist with part number identification.

Our latest Timing Chain Kit catalogue also contains all the application data and simple referencing required to make a fast and accurate decision on the right kit for the job.  The ever-expanding FAI TCK range currently stands at over 400 part numbers, each one containing everything required to complete the job; down to the last stretch bolt and sealant. The premium quality components use OE material such as PA66 Nylon for guide rails and Swedish sourced powder metal for gear and sprocket manufacture. Every FAI TCK box is sealed with an oil warning label stating exactly which grade of oil is required for the installation of that kit. This is to assist the installer in creating the correct environment for the engine and timing components to function as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.

We can be found in Hall 18, Stand A20 if you would like to pay a visit to the stand and explore our extensive product portfolio and meet Chaz Davies.
