Another thing to look for is worn linkages. The eye-holes elongate and the pins wear. This can add lots of slop to the system. Mike --Original Message-- From: Paul Hunt <paul.hunt1@virgin.net> To: Jo

The rear captive nut is readily accessible, the front ones are buried under the large rubber in the top spring seat. I haven't tried to pull that off yet. I'll take a look today. Since this is on a r

Indeed, I am referring to a Limited Slip Diff. If you are lifting the inside rear, then a clutch-type LSD or even (perish the thought) a detroit locker will at least allow you to drive out of the co

I can't offer comment on the spicer, but the detroit locker is not well loved by most LBC folk. It is pretty brutal in its transition between freewheel and locked. Sudden big oversteer, and broken ax

I'm sorry, but brazing is not appropriate or safe for structural welds. In the case of a spridget, this means the floor section. There is a specialist form of brazing that is used for structural work
