JConcepts B6 front camber link mount bulkhead

JConcepts have introduced their new 2-piece front camber link mount bulkhead for the Team Associated B6 series of buggies. The 2-piece design incorporates durable material, looks and tuning into a single package. The front camber link mount sports all three popular mounting locations and features a blended design which connects to the front bulkhead forming a unique, stout package. The bulkhead itself has all the tricks. Starting from a small square of a aluminium, the part has been mastered into a pocketed, threaded and high-performance unit complete with 3mm threaded holes, anodising and laser etching. Joining the two pieces together blends the parts and creates the valley for the sway-bar location. The sway-bar area is compatible with standard AE hardware and optional sway bar kit. The aluminium camber link mount and bulkhead combined with the plastic AE suspension mount weigh in at about 28.5g without hardware making it a tuning adjustment and it can be mixed and matched with AE and JC parts to create a load of different weight bias settings.
