tr4u2 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Don't know how but missed the fact that the hole in the bottom arms where the nylon bush goes has worn out of round until I put the new bushes in. given the fact there is not a lot of meat around the hole, is boring and sleeving back to size viable/safe? OR do I weld the worn portion and re-machine to size any comments welcome regards adrian salisbury Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bob-menhennett Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Adrian Given the "hassle / cost factor " of welding the extra metal and then reaming out, why not buy a decent secondhand one from any one of the specialists, e.g.TRGB, TR Bitz, TR Trader,TR Shop, etc.It's got to be a lot easier and quicker.( be very specific, in your description, as to which arm you order ) Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At least you then know that it is round. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ade-TR4 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I'm sure Tr_Tony will have a mighty selection of parts: Drop him a line (He's rallying at present though - ROTT) Ade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 David Manners/Moss Brumm used to do a repaired exchange service. The inner bush hole being bored and re-sleeved to suit. Elite Suspensions in Coventry offered these new at one time. The lower wishbone arm forging is common to TR2/3/4/5/6, Reliant Sabre, Scimitar and Daimler Dart - It is machined in different ways for these vehicle ranges.

stuart Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 It may be worth contacting TR Shop 02089956621 as they did have new ones a while ago. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
