Some notes about the damaged parts...

The old radiator had about 20% of the cooling fins bent over to the extent where little to no air was going through that portion of the core. This isn't from the accident, this is just from 5 years of track debris hitting the radiator and slowly but surely bending over the fins. The new rad's should cool a bit better!

The upper threaded portion of the old PSS9 was bent and the entire shaft was bent (through its not really visible to the naked eye) such that the shock would only compress about 50% of its length and then bind up.

The top shock mount was also bent...
