Trailing arm pivot pins

[jp2405]

Good morning

Would anybody know of a source of the Wedge's trailing arm pivot pins (the front ones which attach to the chassis) which I believe have a part number TVR 025D 021A?

Thank you

John

I know Dom Harris had a new pair made last year.

Hi
Thanks for the info. I can't imagine it's much trouble for a knowledgeable machinist. Still, I'll see what is said when I ask my local garage to set the camber!

I messaged Dom and he was going to post up some info later. Cheers

Not sure if you know that if the pins are bent then it will take the assistance of a 20 ton press...around 5 hours per side of faffing...lots of heat and a very big hammer are also part of the tools needed...and making sure that the washers go back how they came off....

What I don't understand about them is that they are more like a fixed stud than a pin - the only movement surely is some rotation in the bush attached to the chassis (which is why they seize in the first place?....). Mine aren't bent but I'm just concerned about getting the camber re-set accurately. I removed them to remove the diff (never again!).

I think there is a bit of movement in the arm itself on the pin, the pin is shanked so that would make sense...if there was no movement in the arm and pin then I imagine it would bend or seize....or worst ...snap..I had new ones bend within 2 years...not sure why...might have been metal quality.

Nothing to do with driving style?

Just seen this and must admit, I forgot to post up info..

I had a couple made from high strength M16 bolts, machined down to suit the trailing arm and and then the pivot bush.
Ive not road tested them yet though so cannot comment on their performance..

I was thinking of going down the same route. Hopefully a local firm will be prepared to undertake it.

Hi, ACS pro in Germany has eight of the Pivot Pins part number 025D 021A left in stock.

Unfortunately we do not ship to Great Britain at the moment.

Hello Eckhard

Is there any chance we can persuade you with euros?
