Doug,
You can fix the swing spring to the diff by:
1. Removing the rocker box
2. removing the spacer and plate from between the bottom two leaves
3. stuffing enough material into the top of the rocker box to take up the space
between the top leaf and the top of the box.
4. Bolting the rocker box down to the diff as before
(Test at that point to see if you have removed the rocking action. Additional
spacers in the box may be necessary.)
That way, you don't need to change any components to add a camber compensator.
I assume the later GT6's have the same long axles that the Spitfire 1500s do,
and so you will need the long axle camber compensator
which has a spring component that is a bit longer.
Regards,
Joe
