12/4/2023 update. Don't let the numbers 30 and 25 throw you off, this is a +2.5-2.5 degree bulkhead and works just fine with the B6.4/T6.4/SC 6.4. You can use the caster inserts and the chart in front of the manual to get the caster you want. This is a great replacement part for the standard AE one and it comes in black as well as blue Got this to stop replacing the plastic bulkhead. Part is very nice quality and a good fit As mentioned by others it weighs a few grams more than the plastic part but should be way more durable, time will tell. I'm giving this 4 stars because it requires 4 M3 set screws and they don't come with the part. The standard plastic one has two set screws, so make sure you have two extra set screws since you will need them.
on my scale weighs 8.5 grams without set screws, 8.8 with. high quality, very nicely done piece, maybe they will etch weight on some of their aluminum pieces in future runs, good tuning aid as it offers another weight vs. AE team one
Stock AE plastic bulkhead without set screws = 4.2g. AE steel hindge pin brace = 2.2g. RDRP0292 bulkhead without set screws = 8.4g. A hinge pin brace is still required when using the revolution bulkhead. Revolution sells a carbon fiber hinge pin brace part # RDRP0292-CAR. I did not receive the 4 set screws with my bulkhead. Bulkhead fitment looks good.
Three verified owners rate this aluminum front bulkhead highly, praising its build quality, fit, and suitability as a replacement for the stock plastic part. Reviewers note it weighs more than the plastic original (around 8.5 to 8.8 grams versus about 4.2 grams), which one owner expects to be offset by greater durability. The bulkhead works with the B6.4, T6.4 and SC 6.4 platforms, and caster can be adjusted with the included inserts and manual chart despite the +2.5/-2.5 degree numbers in the product name. Recurring issues are that four M3 set screws are required but not included, and one owner reports the hinge pin brace is still needed, sold separately as a carbon fiber part.
