Make sure the threads of the grub screw and hole are clean and don't have grease in them. Then use a small amount of threadlock on the grub screw.

OK so I threw both front CVD pins at racing last night, one in the first heat and one in the final
I haven't cleaned or greased them since I built the car, so I'm thinking this is just a result of that. Do you guys have any other tips? I've heard of people filing a flat spot where the grub screw goes, and putting some heat shrink around the outside over the hole to stop them exiting into the steering knuckle, but I'm not sure if there is anything else I should do?

Definitely more flex. The one-piece top deck removes the cross-brace behind the spur...

Looks like it could give more rear end lateral flex and less longitudinal flex.

Hi guys,
the new deck has more flex in rear of as there is no cross brace on rear bulk.
The deck itself is a bit stiffer than the standard deck but and has been tested to be used without the steering screw on it.
Taking off the screw from stering deck/bridge gives more flex which improves steering, especially more on-power steering going out of the steering.
Decks are available, contact me for pricing and more information with pm or email [email protected]

if you are looking for spare parts just look here:

So you can see there are two regular SP numbers for the TRF416 belts.
