he guessed at around 30 quid ish for the fit and forget alloy and around 4-6 quid for graphite bits in ether 3mm or 4mm carbon
don't take the 30 quid as gospel the more i get the cheaper. the less the dearer lol
You watch Atomic Cabon muscle straight in on that one;)

what ever's made need to be designed to be able to incorporate the front anti-roll bar as well

bigred5765 18-06-2007 10:15 PM

tyreman 18-06-2007 10:17 PM
I don't know why he hasn't done his own interpretation of the penguin front tower brace yet.:confused:

So get on with it JC.

It's the same idea as the Fibre-Lyte tower strengtheners I sell.

Does it really need to allow the use of a front anti roll bar?

When I had my carbon braces made I did them especially to fit the roll bar and as a result they were an odd shape and quite ugly. I don’t know anyone that runs them now either? Because everyone makes them slightly differently you have to have a gap, exactly where you want the carbon for the strength. All I’m saying is Carl, consider if it’s really worth making them bigger and uglier ;)

What you saying Brian :D do you want me to send Wraggy across.

If Losi make some towers problem solved, but it would be nice to know the actual fact why there are no towers around at the mo ?.

I'd be interested in some kind of solution - as my car currently has a broken tower on it (and ran that way all th rough Bury Metro national;) ) - as i have no spares!!
