306 Trailing Arms

[Nathan_marriott 0]

Hi.

 

Ive done a search but to no avail...............but ive heard that you can fit 306 trailing arms to a 205 tube, how correct is this and how much work is involved, im currently running std rear beam with drums, ive been offered complete 306 beam for not alot of wonga and wondered how much work itll take to put on the 306 arms and discs etc..................(Reason for fitting is neggy camber and toe in - oh its not on a road car either...............)

 

Any help or advice appreciated

When I got my beam re-built by Dan Taylor (off this forum) he put 306 arm's to my beam, send him a pm

Provided you can get the beams stripped down ok, then they will "just" go in, this is assuming both trailing arm shafts are in good conditions and bearings, but 9.99999times out of 10 they shafts in the 205 beams are dead, and it's issues getting the torsion bars out of the respective beams.

 

PugRacing (aka Miles) is good for rebuilting beams as is 205 Parts.

believe its what Andy baker @ AB motorsport runs on his 205 with proflex rear shocks.

306, ZX, etc, all fit.

Direct fit assuming everything is in good order.
