Bent lugs
In Response To: Re: Ebay--Carrera DATO 45 ()

I probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it Nic, but yes, you can see that the top left lug is bent in the photos - one or both of the bottom ones may be too but the photos of those aren't as clear.

That's not something I've ever really looked for before - it takes a fair amount of force to bend a steel lug, even when they are relatively long and thin like the first Carrera's. Maybe another thing to add to our buying checklists...
