Derf,
 Were you advocating stripping a semi-elliptic WW axle housing bare and 
building it into a quarter-elliptic housing?  That's thinking outside 
the box! The more I think about it, the more I like it. I have done 
something similar in the past successfully at home when I built the 
axle for my Rotus 7, but it took a lot of straightening to get it 
right. I don't know how many Sprite MK II WW housings were made, so 
this could be the best way to a no-compromise conversion?
