Factory Pro O-XCP038 for Xray X4'26 touring car chassis - Steering Block Plate Set, graphite  [FP-O-XCP038]

Factory Pro FP-O-XCP038 Xray X4'26 Steering Block Plate Set - Graphite: Conservative reinforcement for X4'26 steering hubs

The FP-O-XCP038 steering block plate set from Factory Pro is a direct replacement component produced to address structural wear and to offer a slightly firmer interface at the steering hubs of the Xray X4'26 chassis. Cast in graphite, the plates trade a modest increase in stiffness against the standard parts and retain the original mounting footprint for straightforward swap-in fitment.

Design and material notes

Graphite is chosen here for its balance of rigidity and vibration damping compared to some harder composites. The plate geometry mirrors the OEM outline while adding material thickness where steering loads concentrate. That approach preserves steering geometry while adjusting local stiffness, which can affect steering feel through the hubs without altering suspension geometry.

Chassis context and compatibility

This set is engineered for the Xray X4'26 touring car chassis. It addresses the steering block interface only and is intended to replace the left and right plates at both front and rear mounting points. Compatibility is limited to the X4'26 hub assemblies that match the FP-O-XCP038 mounting pattern.

Suitability for builders and restorers

For hobbyists maintaining an X4'26, these graphite plates serve as a structural spare that maintains the original part layout while offering a different material characteristic. The product is relevant to those replacing worn parts or preferring a firmer hub plate; it is not a tuning module but a straight replacement with a material variation.

Form factor and packaging note

The set provides one plate for each corner: front-left, front-right, rear-left, and rear-right. The visual finish is natural graphite grey and the pieces are shaped to match the X4'26 mounting faces. No assembly instructions or accessories are part of the component description; the part is focused on fit and material.

The Factory Pro FP-O-XCP038 graphite steering block plate set is a material-focused replacement for Xray X4'26 owners who need direct-fit spare parts with a different stiffness profile. It is a straightforward option for caretaking or restoring an X4'26 chassis without altering mounting geometry.
