Lazer ZX-5 bulkhead

[littlened]

Hi,

I've managed to break part number LA210 which looks like it's a front bulkhead.

Modelsport can provide replacements but I've seen something on ebay which looks like it's the part but in alloy rather than plastic, I'm wondering if someone could confirm if this is the same as the part I need?

Here's the expanded view of the lazer zx-5, I've highlighted the part I've broke.

That is the REAR front brace, not the FRONT front brace......you need the FRONT front brace or F.F as you may find it listed.

Hope that helps?

Thats a full set for the front (front and rear of the front end of the car)

So essentially the part listed on ebay is the right one, I've just linked to the rear one rather than the front.

I'm going to get the front and rear anyway in the hope that they don't break as easy again.

Kinda-ish-not really....The braces all seem to have different curves/mountings/methods of fixing....ive had the same issues with breaking parts on the gf's ZX5 recently, however we managed to break the F.F and the R.F

Cosie is right, you should be able to get a pukka Kyosho part in Ali or look at

the front one is the main one you will need as this takes the strain of any front impact on the wishbones and pins. Alloy ones stop this problem, although in a hard impact you may obviously break the wishbone instead.

They come in various sizes to give differing amounts of toe-in, mainly for the rear. I would only get a Front Front as in a coupe of years using a ZX5 i never broke a rear.
