so the pin brace replaces the two shims and you move it and the one shim front to back for caster changes?

So I tend to get really bored with graphite from broken rear pods, and just general CRC parts. Here's a little front end brace I made up with a couple peices, 2 screws and o rings. It's not the best design because the 4 screws going into the dynamic caster blocks are about 1mm to big in diameter, allowing some movement with high force. But hey, Its something I like to do so who cares. Enjoy

Battery Replacement
Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket part to replace the center shock tower on the Gen XL that has a different release for the shock? Popping the shock off everytime to change the battery is wearing out the ball cups and is a hassle. If not is the a better tool than pliers to pop it off without damaging it?

I'm using a hex ball cup and ball from an Xray FK'04. Uses a 3mm wrench to remove. Simple.

Mark506, That is a pretty cool front brace. Not sure if I would need it on our small track. As for the rear upper brace breaking. Buy the 3mm upper brace and your problems are over.
I had a problem with the upper brace breaking and the lower pod breaking on the side of the short plastic bearing mount. So I got the 3mm upper brace and the long left side Al. bearing brace. Problem solved
