JConcepts Releases Fin Titanium Turnbuckle Set for Mugen MBX-8

What was released

JConcepts introduced a Fin titanium turnbuckle set made for the Mugen MBX-8 and MBX-8 Eco. The kit has five pieces and is offered in two colors: burnt blue and stealth black.

Design and materials

The turnbuckles use high-grade machined titanium. The main body starts as a 5mm square section for the camber and steering links and tapers into a threaded base that accepts standard rod ends. The visual design centers on an extended adjustment area with "finned" cuts that rotate around the center, providing a distinctive aesthetic.

A matching 3mm Fin titanium steering drag link is included so the set presents a cohesive look across the steering components. JConcepts describes the pieces as lightweight and jewelry-like in appearance.

Threading and fit

The set ships with both left- and right-hand threads. The left-hand pieces are marked for easy orientation during installation. The threaded bases use standardized sizing so they fit existing rod ends on compatible cars.
