Hello I am new to the site looking for help with my Dolomite 1850 . the car is now completely dismantled , the engine & gear box rebuilt, back axle and sub frame removed and the shell in body shop awaiting strip and re paint . I am trying to source all new parts where possible however i have hit a brick wall Today with the Trailing Arm Tie Bars 152583 does anyone have a source for these parts or alternatives ? I have tried mainstream Rimmer Bros , TD Fitechet ect any help or advice would be greatly appreciated . kind regards Dave Sarsfield |

Hello Dave and welcome. These parts are the rear radius rods (the trailing arms are the channel sections that run perpendicular to the axle). I suspect you will struggle to find new items as a common failure of them (especially when tightening the nuts when using poly bushes) is for the threaded part to shear off. As a consequence supply of new ones dried up years ago. I would have thought Fitchetts were the last people to have some and if they now don't you'll need to hope for someone with new old stock sitting on a shelf and willing to let them go. If you do resort to good used, inspect the threaded part carefully as many will be exhibiting a bend in one direction caused by resisting the desire for the axle to tramp in one direction! |
