Think you'll find he means trailing arms with rubber bushes. Rubber trailing arms could be really entertaining!!!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Original Mini suspension uses rubber and aluminium cones for springing from the radius arms to the sub frame, probably he meant this. It's been
in use on the road since 1959 with a brief interruption when hydrolastic was used.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Those are the arms. The dry cones were effectively rubber springs. Fitted horizontal at the rear the whole suspension took up very little space.
Designed by Moulton who went on to make silly folding rubber sprung bikes.
Anyone remember Ho-Lo kits for minis or just cutting the odd 1/8" off the cones to lower minis.
