TI Automotive Aftermarket Division Displays Expanded Range of Fluid Carrying Products at AAPEX 2000, Including Walbro, Bundy and Titeflex Brands
    LAS VEGAS, Oct. 26 TI Group Automotive Systems'
Aftermarket Division is displaying an expanded range of fluid carrying
products including fuel, brake, emissions and exhaust system components at
AAPEX 2000 in Las Vegas, Sands Convention Center, Booth 625.
    Walbro brand fuel system products on display include in-tank fuel modules
and module repair kits for EFI applications.  The worldwide use of fuel
modules for EFI applications has been growing steadily in recent years.
Walbro aftermarket modules are exact replacements for their OE counterparts.
They utilize Walbro's OE-proven, in-line gerotor fuel pump.  Also on display
are fuel modules from the former Marwal Systems, which will be distributed
globally through TI Automotive's Aftermarket Division under the Walbro brand.
    Other Walbro brand products to be shown at AAPEX include an expanding
range of electric in-tank and in-line fuel pumps and installation kits for
European and Japanese EFI applications.
    Brake system products to be displayed by TI Automotive's Aftermarket
Division include Bundy brake lines.  Like their OE versions, Bundy replacement
brake lines offer the world's most comprehensive range of abrasion and
corrosion-resistant coatings.  State-of-the-art manufacturing and testing
technologies combine to provide exceptional performance in the most
challenging environments.
    Bundy products also include the industry's broadest range of innovative,
high pressure quick-connects that replace tube nut and flared tube designs and
eliminate cross threading and torque problems.
    EGR tubing assemblies also utilize TI Automotive's expertise in tubing
design/production and are available as aftermarket products as well as OE
products.
    TI Automotive HVAC components to be shown at AAPEX include flexible hoses,
rigid tubing, co-tubes, receiver dryers, accumulators and connectors.  All are
exact OE replacements and incorporate over 30 years of experience in
automotive heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
    Flexible exhaust connectors round out TI Automotive's aftermarket
offerings at AAPEX.  Titeflex connectors provide durable, flexible connection
in high stress applications, reducing noise, harshness and vibration from
exhaust systems.  Standard bellows are produced from a variety of stainless
steel alloys, with welding nipples, fixed or floating flanges to match OE
applications.
