Could have been so much worse if it happened on the 'ring or many other places. Glad you got it sorted quickly'ish Brett...

That does look nasty! Can someone explain where the rollerskate in one of the other pics came into play?

Ha ha... we were looking for something to lower the bump stop on the suspension to raise the car height a bit. Jenny found a roller skate by the side of the road and we started to dismantle looking for washers, nuts or even wheels to work as a spacer. In the end we used a large nut that came off the shock and acted as a thick washer. This increased the ride height enough for Brett to drive home without ripping his exhaust off!

Ah! All becomes clear! I've been racking my brains trying to work out what you were attempting to do with that... Not to mention trying to figure out who would have brought it with them... biggrin

Thanks for the offer but I don't think it's posible. I pieced it back together last night (sort of) to get the p/n. It's twisted and bent so dosent fit back where it should.
