    trailing arms

    Are they the same on all mk1s or do GTs have specific trailing arms to allow the clappers to fit?

    I ask as while stripping my beam down some of the ARB bolts just snapped straight off, and looking at them i had may aswell buy some new ones.


    Any ideas on price from Fiat or general RRP from auto factors?

    Also, same with front wishbones please???

    Nothing special about GT arms apart from the ABS hole.

    Can the std arm not be modified to hold the abs sensor?

    I beleive Dan is ditching the ABS so dan you can use and trailing arm.

    I fitted calipers to my lower spec arms no probs.

    You can drill holes in the non abs arms

    However if you ditching the abs it wont matter so you can go for the cheaper arms or rear bush kits are about £25 for both sides.
