Broke front hinge pin too. My mate did a hinge pin aswell as cracking front shock tower.

Looking forward to next time out with it. Overall car was good just need to sort hinge pins and get more track time to adjust set-up.
I ran 7k front and 3k rear. Took the weight out of the back and ran the cells forward which helped improve steering. I moved the linked inboard on the front hub and moved the ball studs forwad on the steering link. The balance was perfect.

You'll always brake a shock tower because of the rigidity of the gearbox casing and the tower. At least it's not a dnf which is worse.

Hinge pins are on my shopping list when they are back in stock.
