Overview
The Tekno RC V2 Adjustable Hinge Pin Brace is the "B" block for the 48-series platforms, CNC machined from 7075 aluminum for maximum strength in one of the hardest-working locations on the car. It clamps the inner hinge pin in place and carries suspension loads straight into the chassis, so a precise, rigid brace keeps your geometry where you set it lap after lap.
Unlike a fixed composite block, the V2 brace is designed to accept Tekno RC hinge pin inserts (TKR5165), which let you shim the hinge pin position for wheelbase and suspension tuning without swapping the brace itself. Anodized and laser etched, it is a direct bolt-on for the EB, NB, ET, NT and SCT chassis families.
