Re: [DML] Re: check your trailing arm bolts, people...

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to clarify: That bend was caused by an accident, it wasn't "normal" 
wear and tear, and I think it's fair to suggest that a "normal" bolt 
would have broken long before this one was removed. It was an Inconel 
bolt too.

The arms have gone back on with poly bushes from Ed Uding, and Toby 
TABs. This is the joint that bolt came from:

The chassis has been galvanised and powder-coated by the same people who 
did the one featured on the Explodaview poster.
