size
Andrew,
Here are 2 nuggets of info from my own email
archive, for both I must give credit to that ever-wise fountain of
knowledge,Richard Clough. I haven't tried it myself but have heard of people
moving the mounting points 20mm inwards each side of the rear 1600
crossmember in order to keep the track standard. -Rob
"I can confirm that the 240K rear trailing arms
bolt onto the 1600 crossmember. They give you about 40mm wider track
from memory. Only other problem I can see is the shock absorbers are
"reverse engineered" - the mushroom rubbers are at the bottom and the
horizontal bolt on the top.... I haven't measured both arms with the same
wheels on. However, a set of 14" Globe "Bathurst" pattern wheels off a 240k
fitted nicely onto my 1600. I assume they are pretty close to the same
outer edge profile."

hey mate, not sure what type of
240k it was from, but thats what we used for simons rear end. 240k arms
and i think dr30 bearings and dr30 stubs and flanges. widens the
track a fair bit though. and you need to put 1600 shock mounts on the 240k
arms, and get springs that are a fair bit shorter.

Subject: 240k a arm
bearing size
Can anyone tell my if the bearings for the
stub axle that goes in the trailing arm of an early 240k are the same size
as the 1600 bearings or are they a big and a small.Basically i'm look to
fit the larger jap r31 stubs into 1600 trailing arms but it might be
easier to use 240k arms if they have a big and a small bearing like the
r31.
