Tony Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Who would honestly make a suspension turret out of fibreglass/ plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 That's metal Tony.... Looks like the turret has fatigued and failed due to overly stiff suspension or a they hit a big pothole and the chassis could not cope with the impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Looks very white for metal but i get what your saying about fatigued turrets...... Needless to say either way the fail is a bit terminal for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesV70R Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I think its only white because it's silver and the camera hasn't picked it up very well. Plus ... well ... the welds give away it's not fibreglass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammy Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Reminds me of one of my old mk2 fiesta xr2s i owned about 16 years ago the turrets were rotten, so. Eone pulled out on me. I braked really hard with 2 feet and i hit a pit hole.. Yhe finished product was like the above pic only with lots if rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
