Textar: New to range expanding locks
Published: 03 June, 2020
Textar has widened its aftermarket product range via the new addition of expanding locks, intended to ensure reliable handbrake function. Damage to expanding locks is common in certain drum brake designs as the condition of the handbrake can only be determined when the brake discs are removed. Most manufacturers recommend replacing expanding locks every four years. Textar, which is manufactured by TMD Friction, covers 99.9% of the UK car parc and includes pads, discs, accessories and brake fluid.
