This aluminium front damper mount is an aftermarket upgrade designed for the Tamiya TB04 platform, model TB4028. It replaces the factory front mounting point to provide a stiffer, more consistent attachment for the front shocks used in TB04 touring configurations.
Engineering notes: the mount locates the front dampers and transfers dynamic loads between the shock assemblies and the front bulkhead or tower. Compared with flexible stock mounts, an aluminium base reduces deflection at the damper interface, helping maintain consistent damper geometry during suspension travel and while adjusting preload, damping and ride height for setup work.
Service and installation: intended for standard TB04 front damper layouts, this part fits with the chassis original hardware. Remove the factory mount during basic front-end maintenance, install the aluminium unit, torque fasteners evenly and verify damper alignment and full suspension travel prior to competitive or extended running.
