Status: offline 		I finally got the bent pin out and replaced the arm with the stock one...its even more bent than I thought.The aluminum arm is fine but untill I get a replacement pin I'll have to go with the plastic arm.As bent as the pin is,I'm not sure what woulda happened if I had an aluminum bulkhead but it probably would have bent all 3 parts or tore the arm off the pin.

If you're wondering what happened,something interfered with my radio while I was taking a turn and it hit a curb at about a 45 degree angle.

Status: offline 		Wow,thats a little worse,now I see why you were asking about all those things.Its really nice to have stock parts on hand after you upgrade cuz you'll never have to wait for replacements unless you break those right after that.Hope ya get your parts pretty quick.I've been down for about a month just because I'm lazy,lol.

Status: offline 		Well,after I got it back together I noticed my front tire doesn't line up with the wheel well because I stretched the plastic bulkhead.Now I gotta order a new one and I found out its in the front and rear bumper parts tree which is only about $7 so thats not bad.I could still drive it but I'm gonna wait till I have the money to make a big order and get a few more things.

Status: offline 		Always Tower....I'd have the Savage SS but they've never had them in stock as far as I can tell.Ahhh,maybe I just got lucky turning the battery the right way under the upper deck the first time I tried.
