I'm trying to rebuild a damaged 1997 Caterham de dion on a budget and am therefore looking for some 2nd hand (reuseable!) parts.

Mainly rear end - shafts, hubs,radius arms, brake calipers and discs

please pm me if you can help.

How on earth have you managed to wreck 2 brake calipers ?

I've got a few of the old style de-dion tubes you can have at knock down rate. Are you sure you can't re-use the old hubs and bearing carriers ??

lso old drive shafts usually have a lot of servicable parts left in them, you could almost certainly make one good one out of 2 old ones (personally I use new gaitors and clips but you could even re-cycle them if you wanted)

The radius arms, discs, bearings, a-frame, even the ears, aren't that expensive. If the accident has been sever enough to damage these, then new rather than repaired is probably the way forward

If parts have gone missing form a workshop I would expect the workshop to replace them as they have failed their due to look after a customers car...
