[TR] TR4A trailing arms

[Anthony Rhodes]

Yes you are right.  But these studs have already been helicoiled and I think the original stud circle was not well done at the factory and they are not perfectly centered so some have negligible wall remaining around some of the circumference of the helicoil.  

I may be able to get the holes all welded up, but maybe not.  And then re-drilling MIGHT be a problem because the original aluminum is the softest alloy I have ever seen.  When drilling for new studs, the drill might try to cut eccentrically into the softer aluminum rather than into the weld.  

So I thought that starting with fresh trailing arms might be best.

I will likely fit the Goodparts axles with 3/8" studs so the studs themselves currently in the replacement arms are not critical.  The aluminum of the trailing arms does need to be in good shape.
