Default 4 link mounts?

So now that VF is down for a while I was wondering where else I could get the upper 4 link conversion mount? The VF one is out of sock at TCS maybe anyone knows a store that still has some old ones in stock?
anyways thanks for the help

search for WHeely King parts on eBay...there are at least two distinctly different mounts on there usually.

drill into the axle housing or use on yourservo plate, depending if you have that mod or not. RCP has some nice Delrin link mounts as well. Kinda pricy but i like em

I don't think you understand me, I was trying to find the mounts that convert the stock 3 link to 4 links, neither of those options will work for what I'm saying

Yes it will, you arent understanding where you are to put the upper stay from Tamiya.

There is a stock hole in the center of the diff that you mount the stay to. Then it will have a perpindicular slot that you slide a 4/40 screw through. Use a 3/16 piece of brakeline that is cut really small to go in the middle so it keeps the stay spread apart instead of squishing down as you tighten the bolt. These are single shear links.

I guess I wasn't understanding it correctly I'd still rather have the nice looking alum one, personal pref.

Note that I dont have the piece of brake tube inbetween the stay, it crushes it together when the bolt is tightened.. If you have the brake line in there it makes the 4 link more triangulated properly as well.
