Hi Ray,
Have you got the brackets for the axle that the trailing go into?
Have you got trailing arms?

Hi Pat,

have got the axle brackets, but no arms yet or panhard.

have got the bushes from ST, but can't seem to find any tube that they will fit into.

was gonna go rose joint for the panhard, but was worried about finding one 'man enough' , its gonna take a bit more hammering than a road car.

Hi Ray,

This bloke is selling some:

I'm off to see him on Thursday night if you need anything.

This is how I did mine, pics aren't the best, but should give you some ideas.

I've got 4 spare new trailing arms without -- very nicely welded but tube thickness as per book.
