The latest addition to the Setup Tools Category are these ORCA Level Boards.  With the ORCA Level Board System you can straighten your setup board on any table.  Often the tables at the race track are not perfectly straight and this distorts the work on the tweak or setup board. 
​
With the Level Board System you can change the height of the board by up to 10mm depending on your needs.  A small and round spirit level is included with the system for perfect alignment.  The ORCA Level Board System can be used on all setup boards with a thickness of up to 13mm

You can view more details and information on these and several other Setup Tools here.

Please let me know if you'd like to reserve a set
