Lateral links
Lateral arms

Track arms

etc etc.
Be patient, keep watching for "newly listed items". Good luck.
And remember that the Wagon arms are shorter than the Saloon arms due to the Wagon having a narrower track and so the Saloon arms will not be suitable, and vise verse. (This is certainly the case for Bugeye's, unsure about earlier models, but worth baring in mind).

In the ones i got sent one was shorter than the other 3, which i'm guessing was from a classic or newage wagon.

And are you talking about the front (rear) lateral link arm which is the U sectioned one?

It's the front one of the 2 rear lateral links, rear one has the bracket for the ARB links.
Have bought a full sell to refurb and rebush and then repalce the original items on the car, saves having the car in bits for extended periods of time.
This is the comparison of the ones i was sent, i need another one of the longer link.

This is what i've done with the 2 with the ARB bracket on.

Is yours a Saloon or a Wagon? If it's a Saloon, then the short one may be for a Wagon?
Please do me a favour and measure the odd arms overall lengths and let me know what sizes they are coming up at!

The smaller size arm is 400mm from centre point to centre point, and the larger is 410mm which gives you the 20mm wider track from bug wagon to saloon, also believe that the classic is the same as the the bug wagon.
Mines a saloon.

The round type front (rear) lateral link arms were replaced with the U section arms as they are stronger. I have the U section arms on my Bug Wagon, but I am not sure whether they only used the U section arms on the Wagon only!
The lateral link arms that are on your Saloon now, are they round or U section?

Yes you're right, the short one must be for a Wagon. (Or classic Saloon perhaps?)
