TR4/4A Another TR4A Frame Question

My non-irs TR4A has serious frame problems. Front half is pretty solid, just needs a couple of patches. The rear, however, from the trailing arms back, is badly rusted. When I bought the car, I thought I could patch it in a few places, but no. A new Ratco frame is beyond my budget. I have found some British outfits that offer frame sections, e.g. Revington will supply the rear half, but I expect the shipping is expensive. Does anyone know of a US source for frame sections, or other components such as trailing arms?

Thanks,
-Tom

Did you try TRF?

I have a pair of frame repair sections where the IRS trailing arms attach, but not much good for a non-IRS car.

the non-IRS TR4A trailing arms are the same. It's the rear leaf spring mount that the IRS cars don't have and the non-IRS cars don't have the front diff mounting bridge.
