Default New TRF511 Shock Towers

I´ve made new shock towers for the TRF511.


The changes that I´ve done makes towers stronger than original parts.
  • More material around shock mounting holes and tower mounting holes (on the outside).
  • Removed the outer shock mounting holes on both front and rear tower.
  • On rear tower I´ve added additional inner holes (Shown in green below).
  • The unused lower holes at rear tower are removed.
  • Made the openings smaller.
Will make them in 3.5mm carbon. Might do them in 4mm too (not sure if it´s needed)

Parts will be made by Fibre-Lyte, just like all previous parts.

Sketch below show some of the most important modifications that I´ve done.

Red parts are removed (original design). Green are new.
Now shown are previous thickness around mounting holes.





Proto parts:




Prices:
TRF511 3.5 mm front shock tower: 13 euros
TRF511 3.5 mm rear shock tower: 16 euros

Should be ready within 2 weeks.
