Outcast DIY shock tower brace for my Outcast

[bennyly]

Thought I’d share this with you guys. Made it out of a automotive brake shoe adjuster,a lock nut and some 7/16 aluminum tube.

And the jam nut you’ll need is a M10-1.25
Cut the aluminum tube to desired length pending on what car you’re making it for. You may need to make the notches that attach to the shock towers bigger pending on what shock towers you’re using ie; Stock/Voltage/Hot Racing etc... and lastly you’ll need a 7/16 drill bit to make the hole in the front mount bigger so that it will fit the 7/16 aluminum tube.

GREAT IDEA,
Looks very good, sturdy, professional!!
I was thinking of something similar, using some old arrows, actually crossbow bolts.
The brake adjuster is ingenious!!
Thank you BennyLY!

Very welcome, I used 3/8 ali bar, drilled 3mm holes and used 3.5mm self tappers, had to drill the shock towers a bit

Here is my diy using 10mm stainless steel Tod this is just a mock up piee to send to my machinist he is gonna anodized it red and use type 420 stainless what do you guys think side wall of stainless tube is 1/8 outside wall diameter with a 10mm hex head with a 1.o fine pitch b honest what do you guys think seems to make the chassis significantly more rigid
