Looks like it needs the 3 posts and may be able to bend the kick up piece back straight.
ive bent mine and straightened it but was not as bad as that

Oh yes it's a bad one, the posts have bent back and the kick up is twisted as well as bent back TE have offered to have a look at it for me but I'm tempted just to order a new chassis. Apart from that I'll have to replace the front nose piece and two rod ends the wishbones and bulkhead being brass survived unscathed.

Yup! Can't see anything in the B4.2 specs that would stop it

Finished giving my Vega B4.1 V2 a rebuild for the weekends racing;







When I get time I want to change the wires to black so its not visible through the mesh.
