I guess you're right about that - with this material and printer. I've tried models (Rear suspension blocks for the Dyna Storm) SLS printed from Nylon - They only failed after a lot of crashing and cartwheeling.

Knowing that the part from this (vintage) car is known to fail quite easily (and therefor is quite rare), this part keeps the runners from ending up on the shelf or in an old box (because owners can't find the replacement parts). Coming from that and having seen how accurate and strong 3D printed parts can be (even if they are not nearly as strong as reinforced plastics), I put a lot of faith in them
