Default Carbon fibre front tower

Now that we can not get hold of the K-factory front shocker towers - is there anything in its place and roughly how long

A ham sandwich. It's about 3 feet long.

We're working on it. Just beginning, so it will take a while, but we do expect to make one.

Not as simple as you might think, First, design it. Many times that's the easy part. Then: Hand build a prototype and test it. Send the C.A.D. out for bids. Select the suppliers -- in this case two. Wait for production prototypes, then test them. Run production. Wait for shipping. Package them. Ship to dealers. A thousand places for time-consuming problems to interfere.

Eight weeks minimum, more like twelve.

I am sure AC does the towers but he does not do the metal camber link block. So if your after the tower only AC's your man.

you can buy the T4 version as they seem to be slower selling out, trim the alloy to remove the extra and then fit the DMS carbon bit.

CML may not, but there's more chance of shops having the T4 versions sitting on there shells as the trucks have never been as popular as the buggies.
Have DMS got any left?
