RSR Trailing Arms

I have a Project that needs some 'short' RSR Trailing Arms, which are either impossible to find or cost a huge amount of cash.

I have been told, but am not sure, that they are the same length as the early SWB trailing arms.

If this is true it should be possible to make up a jig and shorten some LWB arms and add the caliper mounting brackets.

I am sure that there are probably some other changes and if any one has a sketch/dimensions that they would share I would be grateful.

Thanks

I believe that 930 trailing arms are the same as the RSR arms. They seem to come up for sale every couple of months.

I have a contact who has jigs and specifically takes stock steel arms and shortens and strengthens them to RSR arms.

PM if you need details - he is in Droitwich, Worcestershire, UK.

Larry,

Thanks but the 3.3 Turbo has aluminium trailing arms which are not correct for an RSR but would fit and are relatively cost effective

Ian,

There are a pair advertised on eBay (UK) at the moment from Bromsgrove and I would guess that these are from Ben.

Unfortunately £3000 ($4500) is outside my budget and I need to find a more cost effective solution.

Thanks anyway.

Ben has lots of NOS and this could be some.

He also takes standard steel arms and converts them in a jig he has.

PM me and I can send his details.

Though the turbo arms are shorter they also increase the rear track width
