This time its my fault,
Yesterday I was lent on the wheel and it went CRACK.
Wheel works fine, but the supports at the bottom of the screws that holds the wheel steady on the table have snapped. So it basically can move up and down really easy, not the greatest when you throw the wheel around drifting :s
Picture
I dont think glue will fix this one, anyone got ideas?
Broken Momo, Help needed

My wheel has cracked in the same way, I'm still yet to rectify it though, I was thinking of grabbing some screws of the same thread but a lot longer so that the screw head comes out of the hole in the clamp where I could get a washer on it.
I'll see what I can come up with, only just remembered that I need to fix this since I saw your post.

if u put a washer on it, put a spring washer on it too..
Help keep the tension off the main washer, which would try and crack the plastic again...
If the crack has run, ie like a windscreen crack, find the end of it, u made need some decent light on the subject to see where i really ends, and drill a small hole right at the end of it.
This will stop the crack from continuing to grow.
I dont know what you could fill it with to stop it from flexing, maybe liquid nails or something a little neater.
Hope this helps lads
