TVR S2 Front lower wishbone HELP!

[twdavies]

Hello everyone, I am in the process of rebuilding my TVR S2 from the ground up and unfortunately one of my front lower wishbones is bent! Please see image below post blasting.

Can anyone advise where i can source another from? I have tried Central/RT TVR/Ebay/DG and Douglas Valley with no luck. TVR CarParts doesnt stock these on the website.

Any help would be gratefully received

Is that the right hand (drivers side in UK)?

Bought a pair of second hand (can you tell ) wishbones some years ago when I needed one, unfortunately for you I also needed the right hand. Only have a LH spare now




have a word with Richard @ Southways, strange chap (likes French cars) but he might be able to sort it


clicky for website

Afternoon Phillpot,

Thanks for the rapid response!

I need the near side so it looks like i might be in luck!?

Where abouts in the country are you? I am in Glosucestershire but my chassis is in Stafford with sportmotive getting blasted and powder coated

Ah sorry that's the wrong one then! Thanks for sending the other pic to confirm. Southways it is then. Thanks Phillpot

If anyone else can help please let me know...

Sorry about the confusion, been out to double check on my car, I fitted a RH but seem to have another RH here can only presume I was sold a mis-matched set ?

what a bugger!

Hi did you manage to find some front wishbones?

[Alan Whitaker]

You can swap them side to side, you only need to change the anti roll bar fixings, I had a bent one like yours, used a 10 ton press ( came good at 2 ton pressure), I did have to cut off the bushing and make a fixing bar jig to clamp to my welding table and re weld it back on, it can be done

Morning apologies for the delay. Thanks for your comments, ideas and pictures. I managed to to sort a replacement from TVR Glen in the end. They were very helpful and the wishbone went to powdercoat the same time as the chassis which was good timing. Please see pics of where the rebuild is up to at the moment.

Not long until the body goes on now. Also waiting for big red refurbed upgrade calipers to go with 260mm disks. The refurb chassis (Sportmotive) has had all new brake lines with braided hoses, new fuel lines, refurb tank, new fuel pump and filters. Protech shocks, new bushes, new rear drum assemblies. The list goes on!

That's looking very tidy!

I have just had an old persons moment as i was looking through your post i had a feeling you had a S2 Vixen..
When i saw the trailing arm rear suspension i couldn`t understand why that was nothing like my ex Vixen Series 2..

For inspiration i was going to suggest going to my friend Keith`s thread to whom my TVR eventually fell in blessed hands in now in final completion ..

TVR VIXEN S2 WFD 400H is the thread legend..
