Hi to all of You watching and reading this thread.
I've got an ask.
Does anyone have other photos of the rear suspension mountings?
There is one photo of the top mount:


but what about the others upper and lower ones ? Were those solid too ?
if any one have some photos or is willing to take them please share

I dont have very good pics, but yes, the carrier flange mounts are both solid too. The upper block is welded steel construction. The lower bearing mount looks like two solid pieces of aluminum, similar to aftermarket racer's edge parts. Trailing arm bushings and front control arm bushings were rubber.

Thank You Guys.
This is what I thought.
I was concerned that solid upper mounts (not the top ones) shouldn't be used with torsion bars, but Turbo cup used Torsion bars so there is no issue with it.

Be interested to see what they sell for as I have 2 sets currently available for sale.

Mine are unfortunately in South-Africa which might make the freight a bit costly
