Probably better to try a long lasting fix before it causes more damage and stresses the hull

I found the problem, the rear axle is bent. Not sure if we did it or it was done before, as it never ran nicely ( was told they all sound bad)

So with a little help from my CNC and boy we have
Image

Holes are tapped
Image

And the top trial fitted, near perfect.
Image

What I do need is a supplier for these as they are really hard to get out of the old chassis.

Try Cromwells https://www.cromwell.co.uk/ or some of the older motor factors.

They say Tamiya Green in the spray can is very close. It might be number 66, but I can't remember.

Blimey, that was quick!

Regarding the bushes, they're probably just ordinary bolts with the heads turned down and a hole drilled through the middle.
