trailing arm referb/ replace

[mikel003003]

One of my rear trailing arms is shot, really thought they were solid I picked off a bit of flaking waxoil to reveal a big hole, am gutted as my budget is super tight , has anyone got any ideas, might be a good time to change to s2 type semi trailing arms ? I believe someone on here does an exchange service, what can I expect to pay ?

Have contacted Adrian Venn

Yes thanks, I was flapping a bit, I need to have another look in the daylight the tubular bit is defanatly shot, I need to clean the whole lot up and fingers crossed they can just be repaired.

Adrian has been very helpfull, and his prices are very fair. I'm going to clean them up and assess how bad it is , then decide if its something a local fabricator can do, if its more serious then I'll send them to Adrian. Thanks for the advise, btw if anyone happens to have a decent pair going spare drop me a pm .

The trouble with just 'any decent welder/fabricator' is that they will not have a jig purpose made for the job, then she/he will not of invested in 2 mm X 50mm seam-less tube to do the job with and have 15 years experience.

mines s1 if i get hold of a pair of s2 arms will they fit?

[mikel003003]

thanks Andrew that does make sence, so koni made differant dampers for all 3 models ?
I do have a set of s/h avo ajustables passed on to me by phillpot so they should tide me over if i decide to go for the s2 arms? basically its £170 per side for a refurb or £170 for a pair of s/h s2 arms If I was going for referb i would prefer to do them both anyway although i still have to investigate the full extent of the problem, look at the bank balance then make a decision. thanks for your help ,
