B4 inner hinge pin length

[RoyalCBR]

Whilst racing at Taplow RC Club last week, my B4 took a slight knock (well I hit something head on!), as a result I had a broken front suspension arm and a bent inner hinge pin.

All quite simple to fix and get out for the next heat, you would think!

However I have the GHEA brass front bulkhead fitted to my B4 and upon closer inspection it seems the inner hinge pin supplied with the GHEA part is a couple of mm shorter than the standard replacement hinge pin from AE, has another else found this?

Because of this I wasn't able to refit the retaining screw that keeps the hinge pin in place - made for some nervy driving I can tell you!

Plus does anyone know when the spare GHEA hinge pins can be brought in the UK?

Hi,

The Ghea front bulkheads for the B4 (Ghea 2060 & Ghea 2055) both use the stock b4 front hinge pins, AS9621. Neither of the Ghea front bulkheads for the B4 come supplied with hinge pins.
(You do need to use the Ghea front hing pin brace with the Ghea bulkhead.)
