Book chassis trailing arms

My wife thought she was being helpfull and managed to win me a set of rear trailing arms and panard rod made to book spec! I had put a bid in and then changed my mind bout them, she saw i was bidding and thought i wanted them! Doh! Anyway, if i decided to build a book chassis but with dedion rearend would these be any use? I have the GTS plans for the rear end conversion.

The de-dion back axle uses the same mounts as the live axle. (darren told me, honest!)

So even if they aren't long enough, they can be used/modifed possibly....

All you can do is try them as your making the chassis/de-dion. Modify to make them fit, if they dont.

Maybe someone will know for sure, but i'm sure it wouldn't be too hard
