Default D4 Inner Hinge Pins > Chassis

Hi All,

I bought my D4 second hand and the chassis is worn where the front hinge pins rest against, one side is getting quite bad, what do you guys suggest apart from replacing the chassis due to cost?

Also I noticed the B44 now has one end of the a arm blocked off to stop this happening, is hot bodies going to do something similar?

Thanks

Jim

maybe put a blob of epoxy or something where the pin rests to build it back up and stop any movement in the pin?

with regards any new parts, Adam Skelding is your man. Although any redesign of the wishbones would need a slightly shorter pin as well.

All i used to do with mine was to put glue on the edge of the chassis where the pin hits. Could you tap and put a grub screw in the bulkhead?(stop the pin sliding?)

I have all ways found the front rubber bush was our problem with play if you replace these reguarly it will be much better, by the way the bush wears from the outside due to crashing or high loading.
