Graham - I have an entire 505 rear end in very good nick that I might just bolt in. Any reasons come to mind why this might be a bad idea? It currently has 604 trailing arms bolted to the original crossmember, it's about 7 years since I put them in but I vaguely remember an issue with the bolts.
Doush_504 - Thanks! The car was pretty rough when I bought it (nearly 8 years ago) and in that time it hasn't been garaged at all. It has spent the last 4 years in country SA where there is fierce sunshine that has totally destroyed any remaining paint. There's a little rust in it, but it's not going to stop me!
Ben - Thanks, I'd be very interested to know what you've got hidden away there! I'll look forward to hearing from you.
Yes, the 604 arms would have the narrower bolts I talked about, I had some spacers machined up when I fitted 604 arms to an early 504.
505 rear end is too wide, wider arms and also the wider hubs.
