Increase Front Stiffness on Older XB Models

The XRAY 356196 Aluminium Chassis Stand Brace is designed to reinforce the front section of vintage XB series cars. Built from high-grade aluminium, this brace gives classic chassis a stiffer front end for more consistent on-track behaviour.

Tight Tolerances for Reliable Performance

Specifically made for legacy XB variants, the XRAY 356196 features precision machining to ensure a correct fit between the graphite plate and the radio case. That added rigidity helps the car respond more directly to steering inputs.

Built for Enthusiasts Preserving Classic Builds

With a clean, durable aluminium finish, this brace strengthens the car while keeping its original appearance. The XRAY 356196 is a practical option for enthusiasts who want improved handling without extensive modification.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Which XB years or trims will accept this brace?

The part is aimed at older XB designs. Compare mounting hole positions and the graphite plate layout to ensure a match with your specific chassis vintage.

Does the aluminium add much weight?

The aluminium adds some mass compared with plastic parts, but the tradeoff is stronger front-end stiffness and improved steering fidelity, which many racers prefer.

Will this affect tuning setup?

Yes, increasing front stiffness can change balance. You may need to tweak spring rates or anti-roll settings to restore your preferred handling balance.

Is specialist tooling required to fit it?

No specialist tools are needed. Standard hex drivers and basic hand tools are usually enough to mount the brace securely.
