Bravo XR steel tower inside case

The Bravo XR has a steel tower, to my knowledge, in the upper only. The tower is pretty small. A few companies such as Max Machine Worx will put a full length tower in it. The MMW tower goes all the way to the bottom of the upper unit.

The bravo X, XZ, and XR have a factory steel tower. It's a little confusing as the word tower makes you think of a long steel structure, when in fact it's basically just the base that the upper clutch shaft rides in. This steel tower is still much stronger than the normal/previous aluminum design.
Like stated above, Max Machine has a tower they install that is a long steel object that actually distributes the load and braces/brings further strength to the upper case.

Here is a comparison between the different towers. The top one is a stock XR tower and the bottom is 3 different ones.

Thank you, I’m asking because I’m having a shop overhaul my XR. I would normally do this type of work myself,( long story) so having a shop do it is sort of an uneasy feeling. I blew my XR lower and ruined the lower case. The shop is going to have to replace the case, probably with some used one they have laying around..... I was worried about the lower case they use not being as strong as my XR case.

There’s no difference ( other than water pickups) in lower cases for quite a while now, the case used is the 8866A64
p/n
The only difference is in the internals.
