Brass Knuckle
Grasshopper Dust Goggle/Spectacle
Brass Knuckle

The Brass Knuckle Grasshopper (BKDST-1010N) dust goggle/spectacle offers workday versatility and never sacrifices forget-you-have-it-on comfort. A soft, comfortable EVA foam dust filter with built-in air channels fills the gap between glasses and the face, keeping dust out. The filter also easily removes, transforming Grasshopper into standard protective eyewear.

Lenses are durable polycarbonate, meet or exceed ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2020, and are manufactured with Brass Knuckle’s industry-leading N-Fog anti-fog coating. N-FOG performance testing shows its anti-fog capability exceeds the world’s most stringent anti-fog standard—European EN 166/168—lasting 15 times longer.

This high degree of fog protection makes Grasshopper perfect for jobs requiring workers to migrate between widely varying temperature extremes that make fogging eyewear a true occupational hazard. The sporty European design features a stylish, wraparound lens for an unobstructed field of vision. Bend-but-don’t-break flexible thermoplastic rubber (TPR) grass-green temples provide hypoallergenic, non-slip comfort, adapting to any facial profile without distorting optics. Grasshopper is also fully dielectric (no metal anywhere) for an extra measure of safety.

SHP Series Heads for Small Block Chevy
Dart Machinery

Dart Machinery has introduced a redesigned and improved SHP Series cylinder head for small block Chevy muscle car and street rod applications. Based on the popular 23-degree valve angle configuration, it features revised port designs to deliver significant power improvements at budget-friendly affordability.

Manufactured using a proprietary process employing permanent molds and a dense aluminum alloy, the intake and exhaust runners, plus the combustion chamber, are exceptionally smooth as-cast. This provides excellent power gains at optimum cost efficiency.

The SHP Series heads are available from Dart in bare form or completely assembled. Bare heads come with powder metal seats, multi-angle valve jobs, magnesium-bronze valve guides and .530-in. seals. Assembled heads include Manley stainless steel intake and exhaust valves (7° or 10° retainers), choice of 1.250-in., 1.437-in. or 1.550-in. valve springs to compliment the camshaft design, Viton valve seals, hardened spring cups, a Dart two-piece guide plate and ARP rocker arm studs.

SEMA Show
With exhibits included in the LVCC’s newly constructed West Hall,
the entire SEMA Show floorplan will be optimized and offers room
for new features and enhancements for an improved overall
attendee experience.

The halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center are nearly full of exhibits, but booth space is still being reserved, and more exhibitors are expected to secure space until the Show opens on November 2.

Attendees planning on joining the industry at the 2021 SEMA Show can see who's exhibiting and where through the updated floorplan. If you have not yet registered for the SEMA Show, taking place Tuesday-Friday, November 2-5, visit www.SEMAShow.com/attendee to register.

For 2021, the Show will include exhibit space in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s newly constructed West Hall, a 1.4-million-sq.-ft. facility completed in January. The new facility includes exhibitors from the Restyling & Car Care Accessories, Powersports & Utility Vehicles, and Truck, SUV & Off-Road sections.

Earlier in June, the visitors of the World of Concrete convention were the first to use the new hall, and the event marked the first large-scale convention and tradeshow to be held in Las Vegas in 15 months.

In addition to the new hall, the newly constructed Loop—a high-speed, people-mover system that runs 40 feet under the LVCC—will transport visitors between South, Central and West Halls. The World of Concrete successfully used the system to shuttle visitors through the 200-acre convention center.
