This one does not. The Trak Racer Flexible Pivot Joint is a hinged connector for 40x40mm profile that opens through a full 180 degrees, so you can join two lengths of extrusion at whatever angle the build actually needs and then lock it there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is made from zinc alloy, is supplied as a single connector, and fits the 8mm slot used across the Trak Racer aluminium system. In practice it is the part you reach for when a monitor wing needs to angle inward, when a keyboard or button box tray needs to sit on a slope, or when a support brace has to run diagonally across a frame rather than square to it.
