It's finally done - new Powerflex bushings on my trailing arms! I finished the job in August but it's taken me this long to put all the footage together (there was quite a lot).

Have a look and let me know what you think:

All the various threads, posts and shared knowledge on here gave me the confidence to tackle this job - so thank you.

I'm going to need your help again as the mount points on both side need replacing. I've never welded anything before (but can borrow a gas MIG) so could use some advice on whether this is something a novice could tackle?

Aye.

Complex though. Look at mshaw’s restoration thread, and mine as well. It could well be a can of worms, as if you’ve mounts to do you’ve probably got more to do.

Nice one James. I love your videos, very clear and easy to follow.

Good job , well done

Always good vids, I'll watch this in peace and quiet this evning. Have you done a back brake one James?

Great work James.

How long all in did it take you??

Thanks chaps.

Sir Brixalot - I do cover the rear brakes in this but not a full rebuild. I'll be doing it in the new year so will make a video of it then.

crazyhorse - I did it over two weekends. The filming makes it a bit longer and I had to buy a new wheel cylinder in between. I think I could of done it over one weekend if I had everything in place.

Cheers James, by then I might even have my van back from the garage!

Will look at your new video, well done for completing another one, I rebuilt my carb after watching your rebuild video, excellent stuff
