For the Mugen MBX8, JConcepts released this Fin titanium turnbuckle set. The base of the turnbuckle design is centred on a beefy 5mm square of titanium (camber and steering links) which gradually tapers down into a thread base design which accepts the rod ends featured in the kit. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment area and the ‘finned’ cuts that rotate about the centre. The set also includes the 3mm Fin Titanium steering drag link for a complete look and finish to outfit the kit. The JConcepts turnbuckles are produced with left- and right-hand threads with the left being conveniently marked for easy orientation.
