I could help you out mate no worries there, but your arms depend on a whole bunch of things, up and down movement, lengths overall, where your hubs/wheels are going to sit, etc.
But if there is owt i can do i will help in anyway i can.

As long as your doing an irs set up then you will make the bones yourself. Otherwise like jammy said try and get some off Z-cars.

Z-cars arms are not the same as mine, ive got irs. Theres is trailing arm .

[s00049643]

sorry i meant to say can anyone help me with dimensions for the rear trailing arms??? [email protected] is my e mail i would appericate any help

[pete]

Why don't you just explain to Chris at z-cars what you are doing and see if he'll help with some basic dimensions. You have to bear in mind that he has spent a lot of time and money developing his kits so he may not wish to give out the info. Don't think you will find anyone who has a z-cars kit willing to give out the sort of info you want. The guys at z-cars do a lot for their customers so I certainly wouldn't want to upset them and risk losing that help.

Well been away to the land of Aus and the sale of the Mini has not happened yet, too busy at work and started to loose all interest in finnishing it.
Think it will sell on Ebay folks cause thats the next step if i carry on looking at it.

[welderman]

Well no progress, thinking of breaking it up. Is anyone interested in it at all, i dont want to break it as it does move stop etc.
Needs some finishining off.
Anyone. 5k or very near offer.
