Subject: Re: De Dion / Transverse bars
I spoke to Barry at Wren and he was very helpful, he's restored three Rapides so knows his stuff. He told me that if you loosen the aluminium mounts, release the straps and lower the de Dion with a jack then it will come apart without a problem.
I will take a few photos when I do it and post them...
The trailing arms will need work, as you point out the two plates trap moisture and then push apart - mine have done this on a small section but just along the edge...
