...I have been thinking of bolting a beam to the diff and extending a frame
member from the existing pad (where the body sits and attach the outer part
there. That would create without much work, an upper control arm mounting
point. Then you can use Clive Averill's CV joint GT6 axles, his aluminum
tubes at the bottom and top along with coil over shocks and have a fully
independent suspension that employs both upper and lower control arms. Not
a lot of weight, in fact probably a bit less considering you no longer use
the very heavy transverse spring and those lead lower wishbones!...
There's a guy (top welder) I know who's done something a bit like that.
He's called Calum (but has the username 'snowygrouch') and he hangs around
on Jeff McNeals Totally Triumph Network
(http://www.totallytriumph.net/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi). I don't have
his e-mail address, so to ask him about it you'll have to register with the
TTN and then you can get to send him an e-mail, or post a message for him
publicly on the forum.
