Tom,
i was thinking of a Mumford link, but the Americans seem to use a diff torque arm with good results, so if i can get my hands on one or make one i'll go that route now, in the mean time i'll refit the Panhard.

Ash,
not sure what your photo is supposed to show?

Got this far with the repair section, all suited & booted ready to weld & no gas....b*gg*r.

Started on the other wheel arch, quite a lot of crud trapped under the wing. Now i can see where the inner wing is i can trim it better with the nippler.

Thanks for the info Tom.
Interesting about the stress relocation.

That's not any old crud Brad. It's pukka 60s Tiger crud.
US ebay here we come.

Find an old Rootes bag to put it in and you can name your price.

I've a vacuum cleaner full of the stuff, got to be worth $500 i reckon.

Brad - I'd say the drainage point on the sill didn't have a chance in the crud extraction wars! Is your ex Fab man privy to the photos?

I googled the Mumford link (and somehow came up with a Miley Cyrus image - what the?) and there's a vast range of configurations out there that's for sure. I'd say ground clearance and general real estate around the rear of the diff housing might present a few issues, though I have seen some radical rears in Tigers in the States in particular. I wonder what the effect on a car running a torque arm under hard braking would be? To me it seems as though they'd also act in a way that would bind and prevent from loading front, though an engineer I most certainly ain't. All depend on intended use I suppose.

Cheers and thanks again for the progress shots.
Tom

Unless he's looking at the forum i haven't i told him, don't want to scare him away )

Now sat on John Sleath's floor ready for inspection.

What's the plan for the engine?

Standard, madman or just slightly unhinged?

Full on, cost depending.

Good news John says the engine is alright, now to decide the spec...

What are your options?

Martin,
John is working on that at the moment but if anyone has any suggestions now is the time to say.

Well to kick it off i'm thinking of getting the ali filter, rockers & sump anodised satin black so i'm going to go for a dark look on this one either that or body colour & shiny ali, any comments?

Chirp, chirp.

Any pics of the ones you plan to use?

What are peoples thoughts on roller virus solid rockers?
