Season greetings to everyone.

I've had a chance to do a bit in the garage during the festive season. I've ran the needle gun over my trailing arms only to discover they're not in the best of health...

I plan to patch up but was wondering if it's worth doing 'big tyre' clearance (cut and weld) as per syncrodoug's below:


I'll be getting the grinder and welder out to play so is it worth doing now 'just in case' I opt for a bigger tyre in the future?
Cheerz

if your going to weld them up then you may aswell mod them.

i fink.

Indeed. If you have to weld - you may as well chop the crap out first.

something like this would be nice.

'BLING MY TRAILING ARM'?

That looks the ticket, thanks for the replies/pursuation.

Make sure the rest of the arm is serviceable before you spend your hard earned on getting them modded. A set of 16" arms went for €145 on E Bay just before Christmas

one of my to do list tasks is to make a jig to lengthen the 14" arms. hopeing to run 32.5" tyres on the doka.
