Ahhh. Thanks, Chris. Very interesting website.
Re: my 356's ring gear. If I had elected to use new parts, the cost of 356
my transaxle rebuild & upgrade would have exceeded $7K. That little
exercise in "returning to my youth" (which, to be brutally honest with
myself, is why I bought my latest 356). What I've learned (I guess I,
really, already knew it) is that the Spridgets offer so much more "bang for
the buck", and, if you follow a thorough, and thoughtful maintenance
routine, the (pre-1500) Spridget is more durable & reliable than ANYTHING
ever to come out of the Porsche side of Stuttgart. And it just drives the
356 guys NUTS when I tell 'em that, 'cause they know I've got the experience
in Spridgets & Porsches to back up my statement ;)
Rule Britannia!

FWIW, I was advised that the best way to get a busted tap out of a BMW
trailing arm was with EDM. In my case, though, I acquired another
trailing arm. ;)
