Rallying support
January 1st 2006

Norbar Torque Tools' donation of more than Ł1000 worth of tools and equipment has helped the LEX Armed Forces rally team achieve its best ever performance in 10 years of competing in the gruelling Rally of Reykjavek.

The team's service manager, WO2 Daz Ward, comments "We are governed by MoD regulations, which lay down precise specifications with respect to repairs. Norbar Torque Tools give us the luxury of being able to accurately torque everything to specification, from engine components to suspension.

"Wheel nut torque checks are part of our daily inspections, but these are even more critical over rough terrain because the wheels tale a lot of punishment.

"Using Norbar tools we know the wheel nuts were accurately tightened to being with. Any variation in the torque setting during subsequent inspections can often give advance warning of potential problems like stud failure."
