Just to let Mi5 owners know. The guys at Schuie have listened and made a couple of small running changes to fix the king pin issue (as described by some on here and also by myself twice now - but only after decent crash)

There is a new front hub (spindle carrier) that does not have a chamfer on the hole. This should allow the thread of the current king pin or the newer updated one to 'bite' into the material better and not come loose or be dislodged after an accident.

The second item to have a running update made is a new king pin. It is slightly longer than the current (kit) one.

I believe that both items have started shipping or will be shipping soon. They are a running change (so I believe their will be no new part numbers for the updated 2 parts)

I am sure Chris or Matt will post if the part numbers change.

Spurs
For people who wish to run other spurs, RW are the only company at this time to make spurs to fit the Mi4/5 series of cars. (both in 48 and 64dp and in loads of sizes for all classes) These spurs are dead true and are machined delrin.

Hope this helps.

Leonard.
Good news about the new parts.

About RW spurs, does RW has an shop where you can buy these directly.
