ok so I have kookt the front 511 wichbones to make them flex more and give a bit more befor snapping.
at the moment its the onley reale weak spot that I can find on the car (even the oridginal bmax wichbones ware stronger than this) .
all the rest seems to be all richt after 2 race's and 3 practices.

I must be an animal as i've bent two sets of front bulkheads, the upper front bulkhead that holds the shock tower, the centre alloy bit that goes over the motor, broke two 501 wishbones, one front shock tower, one front upper deck, one chassis. Granted as Griff said, most of this came about with a car (B44) hitting me full bore going the wrong way but the second set of bulheads came through hitting a post mid air at Stotfold
I'd be really surprised if there wasn't more than a few of you out there that have the front bulkheads a little bent ........... worth taking them off and laying them on something flat, you may be surprised

Ah right, forgot about those, they have been (very slightly) bent on my 501 too over the years, just replaced them a couple of months ago. Both front and rear...
