Anyone have a 123 trailing arm handy? Need specs

Needs specs on the bearing/bushing holes where it attaches to the subframe. Diameter and length please. Think I found a camber kit that might work for adjusting toe and camber.

Yes, I use one as a door stop here in the living room...
and another as a paper weight in my office...
eliminates the need for weight training....

Measurements made on a pre 1981 steel W123 trailing arm:-

Diameter of the hole for the bushing => 41.95mm

Length of "tube bit" that holds the bushings => 47.91mm

(Most consistent measurements reported!)

So did you find a good kit for camber and toe adjustments? I'm interested to hear about what you've got and your future plans...

Not yet. I found these for the W124

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170608444964&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:MOTORS:1123#ht_1126wt_1167

I am betting something like this would work in the trailing arm bushings on the w123 and should adjust toe in and caster to some degree.
