24 TES square section swinging arm

[Chizzler]

Hi, looking for a replacement swinging arm for my 1965 TES : any help would be appreciated.

You could widen your search. TFS, and MDS have the same basic swing arm as the TES.

Thanks: failing sourcing a replacement does anyone know where (around the eat midlands) I could get the arm straightened ?

[Phil Hyde]

How bent is it?

[Chizzler]

It looks pretty bad. The chain side is square but the brake side looks approx 6 degrees out at cross beam on one side.
I am inclined to think someone in its past has attempted a repair and brazed it unsquare.

I think your best bet is to contact Dave Higgins on hear he does a great job straightening frames and s/arms done 3 frames good price and quality work

Mine was bent, causing the wheel to lean over at an angle when viewed from the rear. I left one shock on and pushed the other side down using a trolley jack. I set the front wheel spindle level and kept join bit by bit until the rear spindle was level too.
