T-Works T4’20 anti-tweak block

T-Works have introduced their new anti-tweak block for the use with the Xray T4 2020 mid-motor touring car. The tool allows to straighten the bulkhead assemblies of the car, ensuring maximum precision and thus minimised chassis tweak and less stress on the spool and diff ball bearings. Using the block is pretty straight forward. During bulkhead assembly it will be sandwiched between the left and right bulkhead sides and the lower bulkhead screws are tightened down with the block ensuring the bulkhead sides are sitting perfectly parallel. The tool is also usable during car maintenance, making it ideal for quick checking between races. The block is machined from aluminium, it comes black anodised and it is usable for 16mm and 17mm bulkhead spacing.
