thelma65 - 14/6/05 at 08:50 PM

Hi, im new to all this, so please excuse my serius lack of knowledge.
having recently purchased my first kit car a locust 7 with a mia fury engine and gearbox set up(please forgive the spelling)
after having a week of immense fun throwing the back end out around corners, the innevitable happend and i bashed my front wheel up a kirb!
this has bent my front bottom wishbone.
having searched on the web for anything similar i have been unsuccesful.

i really have no ideas if this is to be off the old fiat set up, or whether ford based. (as alot of the car is based on the escort gear, but i dont believe the wishbones help.
i can send a photo of this if it is any help, but can anyone please help me identify where i can purchase these from???

any help would be much appreciated!

I think you mean mirafiori?

Is the car a Locust (i.e. ladder chassis with plywood body) or a Locost (space frame with alumnium/GRP bodywork)? If it's a Locust then you will probably have better luck going through the enthusiasts club http://www.locustenthusiastsclub.fsnet.co.uk/
