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

It's worth commenting that the Herald as first designed as a prototype used upper and lower wishbones at the back as well as the front. That interfered with the body floor pan requiring it to be muc

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

Very interesting. GR says absolutely nothing about that, gives lots diagrams, pictures and discussion implying that the swing axle was the original idea. I'd sure trust Jonmac to know what he's talki

What problem would that be? Following yourself? So did you fix it with a swing-spring or a camber compensator? -- Jim Muller jimmuller@rcn.com '80 Spitfire, '70 GT6+ == This list supported in part by
