TORRANCE, Calif. (July 27, 2004) - Making it even easier for consumers to find the products and part number they need, the 2004-05 Russell Automotive Performance Catalog, filled with more than 300 new fluid transfer products and updates, is now online at www.russellperformance.com.

Just like the printed catalog, the online version is cleanly divided up into product categories. The 2004-05 edition features increased selections for sport compact cars, including items such as brake lines, fuel lines and other specialty fittings, plus the enhanced layout clearly ties the images, specs and product details together.

"The online version of the Russell Automotive Catalog looks a lot like the printed version and is very simple to navigate," said Steve Whipple, vice president of sales. "Consumers can retrieve information quickly from any area of the site because categories are broken out in a way so viewers can easily see what's available. Plus, the online version will be updated periodically, offering consumers the latest product news."

Russell has expanded its coverage in 2004-05 to several product areas, including specialty adapter fittings, with new part numbers in the 45° flare to pipe and 90° flare to pipe fittings, plus more SAE brake adapter fittings than ever before. There're more brake line and fuel line offerings, as Russell delivers more of its reliable and durable lines to professionals and enthusiasts.

And now all the information is available by simply visiting www.russellperformance.com or by clicking on the Russell website link at www.edelbrock.com.
