JConcepts 8ight-X 2.0 | XE Fin Titanium turnbuckle set

JConcepts has introduced a new Fin titanium turnbuckle set for the TLR 8ight-X 2.0 and XE. Since the introduction of the Fin turnbuckle sets designed specifically for style, durability, and performance, a new standard is set. The base of the turnbuckle design is centred on a beefy 5mm square titanium (camber and steering links) which gradually tapers down into a thread base design which accepts the rod ends featured in the kit. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment area and the “finned” cuts that rotate about the centre. The set also includes the 3mm Fin Titanium steering drag link for a complete look and to finish the kit. The Fin turnbuckles are lightweight, and the original design brings out the glamour and quality that makes titanium one of the most sought-after exotic materials in the world. The turnbuckles are produced with left and right-hand threads with the left conveniently marked for easy orientation.
