thanks for the response wally2 I have had a look at somerfords site and will be giving them a call to see what the can do for me. what I was hoping to find is a pair of radius arms for my aussie that I could get refurbished so I don't have to take it of the road for any length of time whilst waiting to get the refurbished R/A back. I might end up doing this anyway thanks

Hi Garry,
There were some on e-bay in Germany - see thread 'Australian rear radius arms' in eBay, not sure if they are still available? Might be worth checking world wide e-bay but post would be high.
Cheers

I was going to say, Aussie arms are a bit like hens teeth in this half of the world, now if you were going to Australia for a holiday you might find some (but I'm not sure about your baggage allowance) :)

Yes, there were. I bought them, and they are with Daniel, until I see him in August. Somerford can refurb yours, and should be able to turn them round reasonably quickly.

I paid £38.00 for an extra bag on a transatlaantic flight to bring out my disk brakes (25kg)

It would have cost £178.00 to ship them. :shock:

Not only that, but I would have had to pay duty 57% on that freight cost as well. :shock: :o :shock:
Having a moking good time!

Hi Garry,
Did you manage to get some new Aussie trailing arms or did you manage to get yours refurbished?

Snap them up, they are hard enough to get over here.
