Default Needs front Stand Off post

Hi everone!
First I have to apoligize for my rather poor english, Im from Sweden.

Any how...I just bought a slightly used S2-kit for my self.
Really like it, it moves quick at our Astro-turf course (Green Hill, Skarpnäck, Stockholm, Sweden)

Just one minor problem: When I bought it I didnt get the 3 stand off post that is suppose to support the front end top plate, with all the rest of the stuff thats was included.
The guy I bought from doesnt either know where the 3 post is.

The problem that accours when I run it with just 2 post is that I keep on breaking the front top plate all the time (broke 2 in 1 hour when I trained the last time)
This is the part Im thinking of:
http://www.losipartshouse.com/servle...fdsh-T4/Detail

Now Im not sure that the post missing is what cause this to happend over and over again, but its the only thing I can conclude.

So, now to my questions:
1. Does anyone else here thats drives the S2 had the same problem?
2. Is there anyone that can sell me one of these posts?
3. Why doesnt Atomic-Carbon reply on e-mails?
4. Does even Atomic-carbon sell any spare parts for the S2 any moore at all?

Thanx for any help what so ever in this matter

Green Hill looks like an awesome track, you are luky to have that track to race at.

I have not heard of that part breaking often. Where is the part breaking?

Jonathan 'the atomic man' is usually very quick to reply to emails. What email address are you using?

The S2 is no longer a production car, Jonathan may have some in spares but if not you may have to manufacture something.

The part is breaking at the right corner, the one that is over the right stand off post

Am I the only one with this problem?

Just got the 3 new posts for my car! (thanx Jonathan!)

Tomorrow I will mount them in the S2 and start dial the car in at our home course, Green Hill (astro turf).

It will be really interresting to see how the car will work out with the GEHA-pistons.
As Ive been told the geha-parts will improve the handling of the car remarkable. Well, we will see...Tomorrow!

I will come back with reports.

Well, they are not magician...they feel like , you can not spot it, but it is "there"...it will improve rebounce...since arms will travel faster down then regular pistons/arms..

But as i have said, there is not enough with one set, you will need, BLue and Orange to...just order..

Missed your reply sorry Bigguy.

'The Atomic Man' is a legend, he will bend over backwards to help anyone, sounds like he did the buisness for you.

I have broken the ear off one of those parts once at the same time as breaking the nose off my X-6. The new AE parts are not as strong as the old stuff thats for sure. I've never seen one break without the chassis breaking at the same time. I would have a good look at the front of your chassis and check it is not splitting on the kick up. If it is you can repair it with some epoxy, if you need to do a reapair use a 24 hour epoxy and get it nice and warm before you mix it so that the epoxy will be nice and runny, keep it warm while it is curing and it will get into the cracks and give a nice strong bond.

I LOVE stokholm, it is the best place I have ever been on holiday, if I am ever lucky enough to get the chance to return I will definately pay Greenhill a visit
