301. RE: Spitfire differential with GT6 ring and pinion gears (score: 1)

I'll take your word for it. My only experience with the 3.27 was in trying to find a LSD for one and coming up empty. I ended up trying that POS Phantom Grip in it and discovering that it didn't work

That is going to depend entirely on your transmission gearing. I am guessing that you are not going to try and hook a V8 up to a Spit gearbox, so you need to address the rear gearing after you analyz

True, I'm afraid. The stock carrier has parts made of brass and the sulfites in the GL5 will gradually eat up that and other gold colored metals. If you install a Quaife limited slip carrier, that co

That is an interesting point. Surely the Swing-Spring was more expensive to implement than the fixed spring, but probably less expensive than adding the camber compensator and certainly much less exp

I hope you are not saying that is the only reason Triumph widened the axles. It is not in keeping with the cost concerns in effect at the time. Since the shorter axles were used well into the MkIV m

Unfortunately, it is "the nature of the beast". Your sag is due to the inherently bad design of the swing-spring rear suspension used on the Spits. The longer axles put a greater load on the weaker

The longer axles started in mid 71, so they definitely DO apply here. In fact they are a major contributing factor in the sag problem. Joe Another possible factor is the longer axles which started in

The 4 corners are all related in the action of the suspension. Increasing the front stiffness will lessen oversteer or induce understeer, as will softening the rear stiffness. But as for having anyt
