Depends where they are rusted through, if its just the spring mounts, Brickwerks do repair plates for those (to be welded in)

If worse, then for 2nd hand try SyncrosparesUK (South Mouton, Devon), Syncro-Nutz, club WANTEDs forum, Brickwerks might know of a set etc.

Old ones usually have to be cut off (through rubber, between mount plates and arm)

May still have them

Also don't forget to renew the rubber mounting bushes whilst your at it.

Like Harry said place a wanted ad on here and brickwerks for the breakers to see, also contact http://www.syncrospares.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and keep checking ebay for trailing arms. I got a great pair for £50 off puffingtheherb about 2 years back

Probably because yesterday I mentioned to him that a few people have been after them recently :wink:
