X2C rear towers

[Tom3012]

Hi all...

Broke the original second time out with the car, glued it and its been fine but decided to design and make my own... I made a prototype tower then got it drawn up and sent off to fibrelyte for cutting...

Here it is... 4mm carbon, not quite finished as it needs a brace but almost there...

With this new one did you have more flex on the rear.
You will have to take a point with the diff box, or the rear T will be brake.

I havent tried it yet, only turned up today...

Im making a brace to the gearbox from aluminium, just waiting for it to turn up :lol:

Small update...

The aluminium brace is now installed and works a treat! Going to add two more holes to screw through the shockers though to sure things up a bit more...

If anyone would be interested in one of these please let me know and i can do some pricing up...

They'd be available in 3mm or 4mm carbon fibre, including the aluminium brace and would be £20- £25 tops id imagine...

Cheers, Tom
