For better performance, I'd drop the rubber and go with a sealed ball
bearing trailing arm conversion.  This also allows for the suspension to be
correctly four-wheel aligned - something you cannot do on a rubber or
poly-bushed IRS Triumph.

Hi All-

Slow progress on the car. I am installing the Ratco coil shock and over the
diff anti sway bar. Yes this is a resto-mod and it is going on a car that is
going to be pretty much stock.

Anyway I have hogged out the hole in the trailing arm to fit the shock and
now
it is time to bolt it up and test for travel and clearance.

I am planning to use hard rubber bushings in the trailing arms and the stock
traling arm mounts. I will re-use the stock bolts for the fit-up and testing
but I am thiking of replacing the trailing arm piviot bolts with grade 8
bolts. Can anyone think of why this would not be a good idea?
