Trailing arm
Hi All Can anyone help please. She is a T25 82 Aircooled failed mot with a rusted nearside trailing arm, there is a hole about the size of a 10p piece. Does anyone know where I could get one from. Have tryed ebay and a number of other sites but no luck. She is my only transport so need to get her fixed quickly. Would be very grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers zoot

PS. Don't forget you will need new trailing arm bushes, bolts, washers and nuts available from http://www.brickwerks.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The bolts will no doubt be seized in the rubber bushes of any 2nd hand trailing arm you get. They are not that straight forward to get out and get new one's in...the rubber bushes I mean

Re: Trailing arm
since it's a fabricated part you can get it welded if you choose to.

Re: Trailing arm
Its up to you, from the manual.....'Welded repairs to highly stressed components such as steering/suspension arms. rods, levers etc are not normally acceptable, other than where the component is made up of sections that are welded together. In these cases the repair should appear to be as strong as the original design.'..fullsunian wrote:Mmmm not so sure about that, but I will check in the morningRozzo wrote:since it's a fabricated part you can get it welded if you choose to.
