today i took the seats out and part of the bulkhead to check something and i noticed this! (see pictures)

i think this is an obvious question , but is the car even drivable at ALL like this? i have no idea how long they have been broken , but fortunatly i have only taken the car out once since buying it...

2nd question is zcars the only place to buy new ones , if not where else, and how much :P cheers dan.

I find it strange that they have snapped Dan. But you should be able to get them from z-cars or car builder solutions.

When you replace them, fasten them at the bottom first and make sure you don't have to bend or stretch them to fit.

thanx,

why do you think they have broken? the engine still seems to be very solid and i cant move it by hand.

is the car undrivable until i get these replaced?

I wouldn't recommend driving it, But if you have to be very careful. You don't want to go ripping the back of the gearbox off.
The front ones on mine had to be forced to line up with the holes on the head, so I modded them to fit comfortably.
