Acras & Willbav8r
I have an engineering background and always check it all.
2 years ago I have rented an Archer that had spats on it. The nose wheel was broken, I discovered it in France. We were lucky as the spat held the stud in place, otherwise the nose wheel would say good by and roll away. And no, I did not brake it, it was an old damage that was not detected.
Keep on chacking, it is free.
