Above Left: Precision is key.
Universal utilizes a digital caliper to
better
ascertain the unique widths and sizes of the CRJ wheel.
The instrument will come in handy this spring when the design team
tackles the new ERJ wheel. |

Above Right: Universal sources and equips the wheel with the same switches found on the real wheel.
Exception: Trim switch assembly. Wheel is complete with a cost effective alternative. The new assembly appearance & feel remains consistant. |

In modeling the CRJ wheel , Universal's design team spent time aboard several CRJ’s collecting detailed measurements and information. This exclusive real
world modeling continued in the crafting of a wooden model.

The wooden model is used solely to acquire a mold impression for the production process.
The mold is then filled with a highly durable
polyurethane resin, which captures every minute
detail.
