You got the other style servo case for the D840. You didnt have to trim anything in order to get that Rock Armour brace to fit.

what i noticed on the brace there are cutouts on the reverse side, so maybe its new design, i think it may have fitted anyway even wit the oter servo case?

The cutouts on the brace were not enough. I still needed to trim the case.
