Does anyone have a spare left leading lower wishbone for S2 (or right trailing, same thing). I have 7 good wishbones and one and is mangled.

I might have one. PM me.

I believe I have also - (but they are from a TCS - are they the same?) - problem is I am across the pond. PM me and keep me in mind if all else fails.

All the lower arms give the same geometry. Early S1/2 rear lower arms are straight and only work with the early narrow springs. Later rear lower arms locate to the chassis in a different place and are curved and work with the wider later springs. TC/S arms have even more curve and spacers welded on so they still connect to the shocks.

Dilkris, thanks for the offer. I will keep you in mind in case I can't find anything this side of the atlantic. Here are some pictures of the lower wishbones I have. These have a tube welded in for the bolt that holds the shock. My car, 1265R is a federal type 65 made in 1971. Maybe they are the same as the TC/S arms?

The S2 and TC arms are the same geometry. The difference is the tube to make way for the stock spring perch at the bottom of the shock. My only experience with mixing them is when a guy put S2 lowers with an S2 shock on my TCS. It didn't work.
