Hi All

I have some standard 18mm link pin trailing arms
I’m thinking of machining them out to fit 22mm link pins from a t2 bus.

Has anyone done this before?
Is there an issue with taking that much metal out?
Any guidance appreciated

Thanks
Chris

Try asking in the HBB Offroad forum here, I assume if anyone has done that modification, it would be someone there.

Why would you be doing this?
