As part of the further development of its globally recognised Borg & Beck brand, the First Line Group (FLG) has now introduced a range of premium quality replacement parts for the commercial vehicle sector, to stand alongside its highly regarded automotive components.

The new CV range has been designed to incorporate a number of key features that will benefit both the factor and the workshop. These include the fact that they are new and not remanufactured components, which are manufactured to match or exceed original equipment (OE) specification. The range features:

CV Clutch Programme. - Borg & Beck and Eaton, one of the world’s most recognised medium and heavy-duty clutch suppliers, have agreed a strategic partnership that underpins the entire Borg & Beck CV clutch programme. This partnership will offer an OE engineered clutch solution for the CV aftermarket. The initial range consists of 52 part numbers, covering 430mm diameter applications, with 395mm and 362mm diameter additions due in the Autumn. This consolidated offering maximises coverage and investment and comes with a 24-month, unlimited mileage warranty against any manufacturing defects.

CV Brake Drums - Manufactured in Europe to OE specifications these product match all the original item’s weights and dimensions. The range of more than 110 references covers all popular truck, trailer, bus and coach applications. These clearly branded CV drums provide factors and workshops with the assurance of premium quality and instant recognition and also come with a 12-month warranty against any manufacturing defects.

CV Steering Components - The Borg & Beck CV steering range builds on the success of FLG in this sector with a 380 reference-strong solution for all popular drag links, tie rods, torque rods, stabiliser links, V-stays and associated tie rod ends (ball joints), the majority of which are E-coat painted to ensure excellent corrosion resistance for up to 10 years. These components are manufactured to OE specifications at production facilities that operate under ISO TS16949, as well as ISO9001:2000 standards, and for added traceability, Borg & Beck branding features on all end caps.

CV Rotating Electrics - These new, outright purchase CV starters and alternators are also manufactured to OE specification and are fully product tested to provide a range that comes without the inconvenience of having to exchange core or the cost of having to pay a surcharge. The initial range of 60 references covers the majority of popular applications and comes with a 24-month, unlimited mileage warranty against manufacturing defects.
