Just wondering if anyone locally does rear trailing arm refurbishment? Seems like it's a bit of a fiddly job and I'd rather it done properly then me mess it up 4 times before its right..

Cheers

Sean

Mini Classic (Greig Malaure) does them in Sydney. So does Mini King I think.

Not sure how reasonable postage would be to Sydney.. Hmm might give link a shout

it's not that much of a hassle to do it yourself - just need an adjustable reamer - you'd be capable

I expect Lindsay can do them too, or any respectable machinist or old school mechanic

Any half decent 'old style' mechanic's workshop would probably ream them for less than the cost of a reamer that you'll probably never use again.

make sure you buy a spare bush - it's easy to go too far with that one last cut
