Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 9m 12d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 25/04/15 07:38 AM Author Share Posted 25/04/15 07:38 AM Replacement new cams pretty cheap actually - like $600 from memory. Rockers though - gold! I think some are overplaying this. As long as the hard casing hasn't been damaged then no biggie. Same if the rollers have a few marks on them. Mine were fine but the cams were average as we know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we've got is an issue concerning the hard casing.I hope the results of my donor cams come back soon so we have some facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
