thanks for link Gary.

The ones i am after look more like the 'leaf spring saddles' but with a hole top/bottom to attach trailing arms.

Stu, if you can't source any they would be very easy for a fabricator to make or even yourself.

 

The Locost builders make them from steel box section with one face cut off.  the dimension of the Westfield part are as below.

I was going to say the same Mark, where ever you get them from you need to take care when welding them on as the axle will warp if you are not careful. 

 

Westfield had a jig to do them in to stop the twist. Last one I did I made a jig to fasten the banjo diff mount and each axle end and it didn't move much at all. Small welds at opposite corners and let it cool between as you need a good bit of power to get the penetration right
