Fibre-Lyte is such a great company they sent me a new SRT topdeck free of charge because the old one had a slight defect. I will make sure to provide pictures soon.

I am really excited about these builds, I just wish I had more time to work on them. :(

Looking really good :) The punishers on the front end of the TCP are a bit on the short side, aren't they? a lot of thread outside of the ballcup...

the SRT is particularly sexy I must say!

Thanks :)

As far as the turnbuckles being too short, I did not really think about this until you said something. I think they will work fine for a shelfer. I used a turnbuckle set intended for a xxx-4 so the measurements are a little off. You can see the comparison below.

TCP Stock Turnbuckles Length -----Lunsford xxx-4 Set
Front camber-40mm -------------- 1 ½ = 38.1mm
Front toe-44mm ------------------- 1 7/8 = 47.625mm
Rear camber-36mm ---------------- 1 ½ = 38.1mm

Maybe the front and rears are switched around?

Nice looking collection!
