Default 511 front tower?

Hi all. I see a few are using what appears to be a thicker than kit front shock tower. I was wondering where these were from? I've lent my spare tower to a mate who I not seen for a few weeks and want to run at the regional on sunday so a spare or thicker one would save any issues. My friend prob still has mine on his car so if I pinch it back for spares he can't run. Something uk based prob means it'd be here in time I'd hope. Fingers crossed. Thanks.

Fibre Lyte Si

Its the exact same tower as the 501x. Mine is 4mm, shouldnt need to be any thicker.

EDIT remember 4mm is special order and is a bit dearer. He`s usually quick to turn around. Where are you racing ?

Thanks guys. TBH I'm ok at the mo, but like to carry one just in case. I'm gonna order one from fibrelite in the morning in 4mm all being well. You'd hate the Focus Rich. lol
