As some of you may already know I'm building a VW lupo with a zx12 in the rear, i have reached the point of making the rear arms and hubs, now i have thought about many different set-ups for this but i am leaning towards the trailing arm and bearing carrier as on the zcars. Do any of you know if these are off the shelf items or special one offs, or even have pictures of them, I will add that i am in no way going to rip off any of chris's products, i have spoken to chris and know how he feels about that. Thanks for any help.

They are one off, never had mine apart to see what they consist of.
Try looking in salvage yards at rear wheel drive set-ups for ideas.

I have had a look at some of the kit car setups and found that the ford stuff is easy to modify to my needs, i think!!!!. Thanks for the reply.

The standard drive shafts and diff are the rear diff from a ford sierra 4x4 and the hubs are ford, granada or sierra I think with re drilled studs to suit a mini wheel. The callipers are from a ford granada scorpio.

hi mark ,

the grease is on the drive flange, i think the only way it could have got their is from the bearing seal

thanks ady
