JRX front bulkhead brace by Factory Works

Post by aconsola »

Here are a couple pics of the Factory Works front bulkhead brace. I do not have a part number as they are not listed on the site. You have to contact Jeff directly to order "off menu."

The braces are quite nice in form, fitment, and packaging. The one issue with them is that it requires a longer than standard hinge pin to account for the thickness of the brace. A pin with inside the e-clip dimensions of 1.75-1.8" would be ideal. None are easily available that I could find, hence the secret menu item status of the brace.

Pictured are 2 options for easy fitment that I have found using stock lost parts.

First is to use an a-5017 1" shock shaft and a 5-40 nut. Could probably get away with a 4-40 white nylon nut like used on the upper shock mounts, or the RPM molded nuts.
the second option is a-2166 xxx rear inner hinge pins. These measure 1.9" between the clips. I used the smaller "a" spacer from the losi double o-ring shock cartridge set as I have lots of them hanging around and it took up the slack perfectly. I believe that the losi a6092 are the same size pins with the ti-nitride coating but I don't have a set to try out.

You can also call or email Lunsford with the dimension between the clips and they likely have something close on the shelf.
