TR4A ODD trailing arm

[Hogie]

Hi Folks,
             a collegue of mine has a query on his TR4A trailing arms.
The off side arm has part # 307053 cast into it (not the Moss assembly #) and looks correct.
The Near side arm has part# 307055 cast into it. This has TWO odd things - the depression where the spring fits has a slot cast across the hole in the bottom. Also the two notched brackets were fitted upside down (alarm bells).

Does anybody know what/which car has this odd trailing arm (307055 cast into it and a slot cast across the hole in the spring support).
Does anybody know where to source a near side arm #307052 cast onto lower face.

I think the reason for the slot cast across the spring seat is to try to pursuade water and other rubbish to exit out the hole.

The 2000 arms fill with mud and grit, I assume the TR ones do likewise.

So a slot may indicate a later arm with the attempted mod to allow the rubbish to clear.

So is the 307055 a TR6 one?? I had assumed they were all the same, but no knowing TR's intimately.

Cheers

Hi Colin,
             thanks for replying.  Not sure if it is a TR6 item but I don't think so. I would be suprised that Triumph would modify it just for mud etc - but you never know.
It looks to me more of a mechanical lock/stop indent - but then what would be moving/rotating - a mystery.

What do Stags and other things have!!!
