S Rear swing arms

[Trefhead]

The old girl has failed the MOT on rusty rear suspension swing arms.
Any ideas on a source of replacements please S1 1988

Adrian Venn rebuilds trailing arms (Adrian@ on here) but not sure if he can so them for the S1.

If not you may have to get new ones - are you sitting down - you have to replace both sides and also I think you may have to replace the rear shocks & springs if you don't have adjustable height ones.

I am not 100% clear on this so may be wrong - Adrian is your man no question.
If he can rebuild them don't bother to shop around as he rebuilds them for everyone else anyway.

Yes just going through a similar stage. Adrian quoted £181.00 for refurbishment of my trailing arm + £21.00 if the second bush requires replacing. It includes shot blasting, the 2" tube replaced, painted, waxoil'ed and returned. As already said new items are available from TVR car parts at £219.52 but these are for the S3 and you would need to change both sides etc. etc.
