Hi Scotty, I've been runnin the proto in Lee's configuration (I assume you mean with the bridge flipped to push the ballstud forward?), it fits perfectly this way round!

I'd definitely recommend it, as though I haven't seen a kit one fail there yet I think there's a risk of the standard part snapping around the ballstud once you dremel away bits of it, this part is precut to the right size and metal!

so do you still need to modify the the front diff box like in lees set-up? or can you just flip this alloy link around the other way?

Our part has been designed to work in both positions without the need for any dremeling. We moved the ballstuds out just a couple of mm's so that it clears the gearbox casings with no fouling.

Just to clarify it can be used in both positions (Ballstud normal and forward) for normal or increased steering.

Anodizing is something we looked into, but it was very costly especially for a small batch. It would have seen the price go from £21.99 to approx £26.99 which i didnt really think was worth it.

You could always spray paint them MG trophy blue, its close.lol

fitted mine today and what an amazing improvement. no cutting or need for the dremel.

Good finish, nice clean CNC work. Also address's the play in the tophats (the lower metal tubes) no play, nice and smooth. great work. NEXT TIME BLUE ones please LOL
