Default Cream extreme Ali. mounts and new DMS tower



For those that don't venture into the X-factory section.

New light weight Cream mount for b4, X6 etc.


Little difference at first appearance? First thing you might note is the lack of a pin. Reason being it's not needed and was a legacy of the K-factory mount these are based on.
My biggest concern when I started making these was to make something that didn't fail. To finish first, first you need to finish, and if your steering goes AWOL because of a stripped thread I've fail.
Stainless steel was my first choice as far as strength was concerned. There where lots of mumbling about them being to heavy, But after being put into production most if not all found that unfounded. But, and it's a big but people where still concerned about putting 14g at the front of the car.
That's where these come in, Made from an aerospace grade of Aluminium not only are they light at 4.6g They also have a very high tensile strength, which makes the thread very strong. That along with the tapping method nearly has them rivaling steel in strength. Certainly strong enough to snap your stud before stripping the thread.
The price is the same as before at £11.00 (Blue version is £12.00)

Also the all new DMS Flex-carbon. Part No DMS173

Here they are all mounted up

and a nice little side shot to show this isn't just a laminate.


Mounts £11.00 Blue version £12.00
Tower £14.69
If bought together £24.99
