Default Hmmm...

I can't remember hitting anything that hard last week, but I've just taken my car out of my pit bag to prepare for tomorrow and found this



Yep - the hinge pin has broken into two parts !


Apologies for the rubbish 'phone pictures - no macro mode and I can't be bothered to get my DSLR out.

The 14mm screws are also both bent.

What's really weird though is that the front suspension arm, drive shaft, hub, tie rods etc are all fine. The suspension mounts are also OK.

Has anyone else managed to break a hinge pin on the Photon ??
Anyone from TOP got any comments ?


Any other thoughts / comments (other than be more careful )

Daniel.
