As there are several questions first the video - scroll to the end to enjoy
a flying around car:
I posted if before so don't get angry if you already watched it.

So....what is damaged?
Good news - the rear end is repaired and already painted again. The car was
on a stretch bench and the frame is flat now - BUT the domes at the front
end are both tilted to the left. I found that the connector between the
domes is cracked on the left side. To have more camber I'm thinking about to
leave the right dome as it is and bend the left dome to the right to get the
camber there too. Any chance to do this?

Cheers
Chris

You broke a rear axle at Spa?  Wow, breaking anything on that track would be
scary.  I trust you didn't get injured, but how's the car?  Too bad it would
be prohibitively expensive to ship an axle over here to Southwick to do the
conversion.  If you have some connections at a good machine shop, maybe
Southwick would be willing to "license" them to do the conversion for you.

Hi,

after the rear axle breakage at Spa I need to bend the front suspension
domes.
Any advice how to bend them?

Cheers
Chris
