Errr I sort of went a bit nuts at the end of a bad race during a bad weekend, ramped it and landed axle first against a concrete block...snapped the axle in 2 and bent one of the rear bulkheads...nothing a gas hob and pair of mollgrips couldn't fix though
that's also the only time this year I've bent a hingepin!
The reason for the weaker/softer wishbones by the way is that they supposedly increase traction, NOT to protect other parts. They even put on the packets I think to use the 501 wishbones for strength but the 511 wishbones for racing, they wouldn't if it was to protect the alloy!
As for spares, I'd get:
Wishbones
Shock towers
Shock shafts
Hingepins
Front upright/steering spindle
Spare drivetrain bits for maintenance!
I've gone thru no end of front shock towers since switching to the Ali top shock bushings by the way, whereas I used to just bend top shock screws!
