Pivot rod (for a trailing arm suspension car)

Or that long bolt type thing with a thread on both ends for the radius arm, either will get you the correct bit.

As he has chosen angle grinder over torch it is possible your bushings are good. If not, then now would be the cheapest time
Tell him the washers between the radius arm and the bushing are to set "toe in" so put them back as found. He will probably realise that, but worth a mention.
They will have to bought from a TVR part person. The next poster will inform you where.

Hi Zig, Richard Thorpe at RT Racing usually has the bushes and the pivot pins in stock. He'll sort you out no bother as he know the cars inside out.
