Uh, no...not unless you can weld up and redrill the hole. That's typical of extreme neglect of lower trunnion bushings...which makes me think that I don't want to see photos of the trunnion itself! :shocked:

Frankly, it shouldn't be difficult to get hold of a much better A-arm. They're the same for all Spitfire, GT6, Vitesse and all but the very, very earliest of Heralds.

thats what i thought...havent got the driver side all the way apart yet but i am sure it looks the same.

quick look at VB shows these parts at about $120 each...yikes...

Give Scott Harper at Team Triumph in Warren, OH a call if you would like to buy one used. (330)392-7176

Scott is great to deal with and has a large inventory of used Spit parts.
