I'd like to present a new product created by Vampire Racing. This toe-in bar for the X-6/x-60 is made of 6mm carbon and uses the brass hinge pin bushings from the x-60. it will be available at the end of january

do you mean the two holes underneath like on the origional xfac braces that stops the brace sliding up or down from vertical pressure?

I hope it is ok though, it does look nice, but i like the security of the two screws from underneath.

without the two screws underneath you can't be sure with everyone if the brace might loosen off or not, as lee said it would be a gamble every race, good luck with it, looks good

also for those using the carbon anti-squat shims, it would be very easy to lose these with no screws from the bottom

looks great though

I suppose D.M.S.' CF anti-squat shims will work without the two bolts up from the bottom, the the Kit shims require the two flat-head bolts.

Without the two mounting screws from below, you are putting A LOT of strain on the single screw in the shock tower base. After a few good hard landings, the whole thing will come apart.
