Just replaced the Buck ankles on my newly acquired Phantom, but one of them was OK, so Mole Man got it! He came fresh from the factory with not only a weak ankle, but with (unsuccessful) superglue in the joint! Tut.

The plastic is ABS, so the weld cement is MEK or acetone.

Replace one Buck ankle with another? What a waste of _____*ing time...gone all floppy now it's fitted with his foot, it was reasonable before. Groan.
It's switch-out-ankle time for Moley as well.
...Meanwhile, Erik the Donor is solid as a rock with his new TTL ankles.

How did these Buck ankles ever pass the design stage, let alone Quality Control!? :gah:
