hopefully this is in the right section, where does everyone get their new spares from? i am in need of a radius arm (if thats what they are called on the Landcrab) repair kit for a 1975 Morris 1800 the bolt had seized in the shaft on a customers car, and the corner had dropped so car failed mot, we had to cut the bolt both ends to remove arm, this was after being in a hydraulic press for 48 hours at 3 tons pressure trying to push bolt out, thx

Front or rear, Kev? Rear presents some interesting problems.
Tony Wood is the spares guy from LOCI and will almost certainly have the relevant bolts and bushes. The club runs one of the best spares schemes of any owners club I've ever been involved with and will supply to non-members without a premium.
Contact Tony on spareathought[AT]landcrab[DOT]net.
It sounds like an interesting problem - some pics for the board would be appreciated.
Chris.

A '75 car will be one of the very last ones, so the rear suspension will use the "Slipflex DX" rubber bush, rather than the earlier bearings. The bush itself is not servicable and is long since obsolete. LOCI have a conversion kit available to resolve the problem. A degree of machining to the arm and housing is required, so not a ten minute job.
Speak to Tony (email above) for the full details.
Chris.
