I wish you had sent this message last week!  I took the bent frame from the 
Spitfire race car (Replaced with the frame from a GT6) to
the dump to make room for my son's Mk2 Spit.  The back end of the frame was 
perfect.  I did cut the outriggers out in case I need them
in the future!

Regards,
Joe
