Default fitting carbon braces advice (xx4)

I am inn process of installing fiberlyte braces to my old xx4 ive just aquired.

Has anyone got any pics or advice on how to attach the small brace that goes on lower rear shocktower where ball cup is.

Ive got front and rear shock braces on with all existing screws.

Any help would be great

Also if anyone just has any tips on xx4's these days or things to do or set up wise would be great help, i just want to have it as shelf queen but also blast out once in a while.

Russ

think this is what you're looking for, you need 2 extra screws to fit it on the other side from the ball studs

The tray is from Diggity Designs, it's for a B44 but you can make it fit.

IMHO the brace across the shocktower at the camber link position is a bit of a waste of time. I have found the carbon braces on the top of the towers have worked well though. Some people run a brace across the front of the front inner hingepins which is possibly worth doing (think a B3 one fits). Saying that though the wishbone can still just break but it saves the bulkhead. Some run the CAT sx front arms which are a bit tougher than the standard items.
