The KZ-14/5/SG graphite plate is intended to match Kyosho Mini-Z MR-015 body mounts and to carry the Mercedes-Benz CLK-DTM 2002 shell. As an aftermarket component it provides a firmer mounting surface while leaving MR-015 chassis geometry unchanged.
Material and role: graphite reinforcement concentrates stiffness where the body attaches to reduce local flex and keep the shell correctly aligned. This yields better repeatability when comparing body-mounted setup changes.
Installation notes: the plate is installed between the body shell and the standard mounts, using the MR-015 body removal method. Typical hex drivers and the original body fasteners are usually sufficient; check screw length and spacer locations to avoid interference.
Tuning considerations: the benefit is consistent body positioning rather than a direct chassis tune. Use the plate when you need a stable shell interface for aerodynamic testing or to simplify repeatable handling comparisons.
