Xray T4 universal fan mount & battery backstop

Xray have introduced their new universal mount for the T4 series of touring cars that can act as a fan mount and a battery backstop. Machined from aluminium and coming black anodised, the mount accommodates popular fan sizes including 30mm and 40mm but it can also be used as a battery backstop on the T4’20. The universal mount is installed on the bulkhead on the previous T4 version and on the motor mount on the T4’20 rather than the chassis to eliminate any tweak and to ensure no vibrations are transferred to the chassis. The part fits both the T4 series and the T4F’21 and it is available from now on.
