It's a shim, that keeps the arms from moving. It integrates a set-screw, and it is the same L to R. We use aluminum washers to space out the car still. We could get them done quickly, but as any part that we want to produce is, we want to be able to manufacture in large quantities. We are not a "custom machine shop" - we are a manufacturer and we have to be able to service a much larger audience at a good price. This is not a cheap product either, because you have 8 mounts on a car and you must use at least 4 and up to 8 of these shims on a car- regardless of design.

Got ya covered. First I'll try the .79c design, serrated washers and tap the stock blocks and see if that will hold on Saturday. If not then onto overkill mode.
BTW those that are having this problem using the 0 or 1 blocks are most prone since the longer length gives more leverage to move the pin block.

This really happened to me! Make sure that you don't have one of those small round spacers wedged in the diff outdrive. I had a blue aluminum one somehow get into a blue aluminum outdrive so it blended right in. Then the screw of course went right through, but was never long enough. Spent the whole night and next morning trying to get the thing to cinch down. With the grease in there holding it in it was not going anywhere. I thought maybe a ball bearing was stuck in there some how and out came the little 2mm spacer instead. Went together the next try.

Hey guys, I'm really a bag of mixed nuts right now with the purchase of this new kit and a couple of other manufacturers hopups for this car. Reading all these issues with tweaked chassis'/motor mount issues, screws, cheap bearings, shock pistons and CVD's is REALLY having me considering selling all that I have purchased. Someone PLEASE CONVINCE ME otherwise. PLEASE

Started my build tonight... Can't get my car to sit flat on my setup board with the top deck on!
What gives? I know what I'm doing.... pop the top deck off and it's flat as a board. None of the bulkheads are bent.
Anyone have any ideas? This is a major buzzkill. If this is a sign of what's to come, then I've obviously picked the wrong color car this year.
