On a Grasshopper it's the edges of the wing that'll break when it flips over, on a Hornet probably the body mounts. :S
It has broken off the other mount that goes with the one on the left of the picture as well...
Not that I'm complaining because that's the only minor thing on a complete set of shocks that eddrick sent me a while back.
They'll be for the next project.

That was my first kit ever! I remember filling the transmission with oil and watching it all drain out.

It is a sweaty little gearbox indeed...

S-ray, my Hopper "ran away" in reverse. Splitting the original gearbox on the curb. :sick:
But back then (we're talking not even that long ago) I still thought parts were hard to replace.

:) My original gearbox with transmission is still ok without restoration. It is on my hornet now with the front wheeles too.
The rest is recycled since 20 years...
