Hmm... I just acquired a pair of rear uprights that came off a Sprint. They are grimey, so better give 'em a clean to make sure I am not in the same boat...
Thanks for your post - I probably would not have been planning to be so diligent otherwise... :(

More likely dodged a ditch, lamp post or tree :D

It's worth cleaning them and checking but my crack was caused by a previous poor repair of the caliper mounts after I guess the caliper was ripped off by a donut failure. It is very unlikely your upright will have a issue.

Early morning at Goodwood.

Of course, the Elan is the only car in the picture that's real - the others are all fakes :)

This is one of the coolest photos that I have seen on this thread. The wheels on it remind me of the Black Rhino wheels Bandolier model.
