[Fot] TR4 axle shafts

[MadMarx]

Ken,

I had this talk with the tech people of the ASN.
Answer:
"A axle upgrade in this way is an advantage in performance and not allowed.
You can run harder on curbs than the car without upgrade and might gain
speed from it. Not granted."
Then I came up with safety issues.
Answer:
"You choose your race car. If your car is not suitable for racing, it's your
problem. Where should it end? One car has small brakes, other ones have soft
wishbones and so on. You have to run it as it is."

So the only thing I can do is to change the shaft.

Cheers
Chris

Chris:

Sounds like you need to have a talk with the tech folks where you race.  The
stock axle housing will remain with the Southwick conversion, it will just
be safer, and easier.  Our club allows modifications for safety.  These cars
are 150 years old, no sense in getting someone hurt or destroying a car just
because it wasn't done that way in the 1960's.  To the guy that protests the
modification I would say, "what if it breaks and I take YOU out in the
crash?"

Good luck, I hope you come up with a simple and safe solution that is cost
effective.
