Actually, what prompted me down this path was the very nice green MGA
TwinCam at the Historics, driven by Jim Philion.
Initially he was having a misfire problem and had a learning
experience from his customary Nascar to this (loaned) MGA., so it took
a while to get in the groove.
Then he went very well.
As I was chatting with him, the battery cover was off and I could see
a nicely engineered A-frame connecting the crossmember ( just behind
the seat ) to the differential housing. Looked kinda old. Struck me
as a very nice axle locating device.
Not actually a Watts linkage, but presumably it served the same
purpose.
The possible Oregon connection was a possible vendor.
Thanks for the leads.
By the way, does anyone have a tape of the Speedvision broadcast (not
live this year)?
Apparently, there was a short sequence of Diane in our MGA, #80.
