Blacque Jacque 4 Posted September 3, 2007 I bolted mine to prevent them bending in a big crash. I used an M4 bolt & some 6mm OD aluminium tube as a bush with a couple of washers as shims & a nyloc nut to stop it all escaping. Have a close look at the pics of my Ranger. I can post some better closeups tonight if you want a better look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shodog 1835 Posted September 5, 2007 easiest fix is to just bend the torsion bar and pull it out of the brass piece. RCH made a vintage hop up that replaces that piece. I used them on my aftermarket buggy http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...40879&id=34 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
