Do you have a part number? My original one was the FT part #9565.
The hobby shop didn't have the FT version, so I ended up getting the #9564. (haven't installed it yet). But if it's the FT part that is thicker, I'll be sure to order a new one of those when I restock my parts box next week.
I did a search on Stormer and Tower for "Rear Chassis Brace" and those were the only 2 that come up for the B4.
I didn't have any titanium ball studs on hand, but they will be in my next order. When I broke the brace, it also bent the original stainless steel ball stud. So I had to switch to a standard steel ball stud. *sigh*
Thanks for the help.
