Hi Pauls! I am so sorry about the divorce, and about your having to let your neat stuff go. That really is a shame. At least you're not giving up on the neat stuff! I currently run a 1969 vintage Spi

I'm not going to try to trump Susan's excellent list ... just add a few And Konis all around. ABSOLUTELY! She's talking about the outer axle assembly here. Stock axle stabs through the carrier from t

Hi Henry! I don't use a camber compensator. I use a later Spit rear end (slightly wider than the earlier), a locked diff (welded) and a dearched spring and it does fine for me. No hint of squirrelly

CAMBER COMPENSATOR! Here I'm going to show my ignorance -- I'm a Mk. I guy, Paul's building a Mk. III. Is it the same swing-axle rear? If so, then YES, he must address it. And that under-spring thing
