Hi all
Just recently acquired my trailing arms for my vtec road frame The bearings flanges and studs are in place I now need the discs and calipers I believe the items are of ford origin could someone tell me what model they are ? And do they require any modifications other than drilling out to the mini PCD. Also are the stub axles the same model?
While I am here what size bolts secure the arms to the frame itself are they half inch diameter as a 12mm seems a bit slack and do they have a spacer on either side of the Rose joints
Sorry if this has all been asked before I can't find any reference to it on the forums thanks in advance j

It is important you get the right bolt for the arms as they are 1/2inch and 70mm long. If possible get the thread to start after 40mm and if needed cut them down to 70mm total length.

 

8.8 grade are good enough but if possible get some 12.9

 

Cheers

I have a brand new set of discs calipers and pads that came with my kit if you want to buy them? I'll never use them as gone a different option. They're completely new and only ever been bolted on!
