The only other modern passenger car to use a spur-gear differential is the OLDSMOBILE Toronado. But I wonder, have you heard of any others? It's actually perfect for East/West front-wheel-drive vehicles. It might have made a comeback if it weren't for electric vehicles.

Hi Brake conversions have been done in the 60's and it was found that the axle eyes became oval and sometimes bent and fractured the kingpins. Father improved the brakes on the old ruby by putting a girling back axle on with girling back brakes and doing a bowdenex conversion to the front. Things may have changed 60 odd years on. Just something to keep in mind Cheers John

It will fly with the reliant engine but will you be able to stop it ! However, putting all the relays and electrics in the bowels of the car is not a good idea keep the car simple for That is the essence of success in a special.Consider ditching 17inch wheels for wider 15inch on Austin hubs .I know.
