Features :

Superior lightweight aluminum construction - Tilton HRBs are designed, machined, assembled and checked by Quality Control at Tilton's headquarters before they are approved and shipped. By using the highest quality materials, combined with the latest machining methods, our designs can be light, strong, and provide race-proven results, time and time again.
Proprietary low-friction surface treatments - Using the latest technologies, Tilton HRBs are treated with a durable, low-friction coating, created specifically for our use on HRBs. This coating aids in the long-wearing durability and high-performance they are known for.
Unique monoseal technology - For proper seal tension, Tilton has created a unique multi-edged quad-tension seal, to ensure consistent feel, long term wearability, and lasting reliability. Seals have been tested to hundreds of thousands of actuations without failure, which is why this technology is built into every Tilton HRB.
Wiper-seal debris prevention - The resilient orange seal is your guard against unwanted HRB bore damage.
Smooth and reliable high-quality bearings - Using the highest quality components, Tilton bearings are tested extensively for long life durability.
Constant contact design - Coupling high-quality, durable bearings with a constant contact design, your system is always ready to engage.
Self-adjusting - As your clutch wears, Tilton HRBs compensate to maintain the same pedal feel, shift after shift.

Tilton Engineering was founded in 1972 by McLane (Mac) and Adelle Tilton in El Segundo, California. Tilton’s mission was and still remains to offer innovative, high-quality racing parts at affordable prices. It is for those reasons that Tilton has garnered a reputation as a leader in the design and manufacturing of driveline components, brake controls, and starters for high-performance and racing applications. The company seeks to advance its reputation as a technological frontrunner through constant innovation, refinement, and customer interaction.

Mac Tilton utilized his extensive racing and machining background to develop groundbreaking products. His experience includes being Crew Chief for the 1971 and 1972 Trans Am championship-winning Brock Racing Enterprises (BRE) team. Adelle Tilton’s exceptional business sense helped ensure the long-term future of Tilton Engineering. As the company’s name became more widespread, the demand for its products increased as well. In 1979, Tilton relocated to a larger facility in Buellton, California where it remains today. In fact, 90 percent of Tilton’s machined components are manufactured at the Buellton workshop using top-level equipment, including a Toyoda Horizontal Milling Center (HMC) and Mori Seike lathes. When the machining process is complete, products are quality checked using Browne and Sharpe Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) and tested using proprietary equipment.

Tilton Engineering’s Innovative Products

Today, Tilton Engineering products can be found in almost every type of auto racing, including NASCAR, ALMS, SCORE, NHRA, IRL, and more! Tilton offers a wide array of driveline and brake parts, in-cockpit controls, and starter motors. Its lineup of driveline components includes flywheels, bellhousings, clutches, and hydraulic release bearings. Brake components and in-cockpit controls include master cylinders, balance bars, pedal assemblies, proportioning valves, and other accessories.

Tilton Engineering introduced its Super Starters in 1981 as the first high-torque mini-starter for racing applications. The Tilton Super Starter has become the benchmark for starters used in high-performance and racing applications all around the world, and earned a reputation for delivering the most dependable performance under extreme conditions.

Of the abundant innovations Tilton Engineering has brought to the automotive world, the most recognized one is its carbon racing clutch. Tilton’s carbon clutch was the first one to be used in F1, winning its first race at the 1987 Detroit Grand Prix in Aryton Senna's Lotus-Honda. The exclusive technology developed by Tilton Engineering can be found in most carbon/carbon racing clutches today. In fact, Tilton Engineering was awarded a U.S. Patent and the Louis Schwitzer Award for technology.
