[QUOTE="Bay_Buster, post: 531837, member: 19284"] Happystamps - The hole through the chassis need be no bigger than the arm's OD, 10mm. One bearing assembly will be surface mounted on the chassis and one similarly on the other mounting point, with the linkage tube inbetween making sure the bearings cannot simply 'fall out', though I'm sure the housings will be sufficient for this. Also if I remember I will attempt a measurement for you tomorrow, however I've had to chop up the existing tube to extract the two arms and have removed the entire metal housing from the old chassis for ease of taking measurements while I fab up a new one. For anyone interested this is the wear on one of the arms, similarly the guide bush it runs through has worn into a nice oval so you'll be looking at just under double the amount of play you can see in the picture: [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/jcskill1/VW%20Resto/20150225_155206.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
