Salisbury Axle

If you went to the Falcon Brickhill Trial a few weeks ago, you would have seen my good friend's Scimitar-based special.  He used a 1970's coupe as the donor car.  The rear axle is a Salisbury unit and is about an inch narrower than the later GTE Scimitars.  The axle proved not to be strong enough under trials conditions.  Does anybody know of a Salisbury 4-star dif. that will fit into the Scimitar unit to solve this problem?  We have heard that the limited slip dif. has a 4-star set up as standard.  Is this correct and can it be adapted to give a strong non-LSD set up?  Any suggestions gratefully received!

Preparing a frogeye sprite.

I'm currently preparing a frogeye sprite and hope to come over from N Ireland to do one of the MCC trials in class 5. The car has been used for Irish retro rallies and sits up a bit. Is it worth finding a van diff or is a Minor one OK. The car runs a fairly torquey 1320cc engine and a Toyota gearbox. Also is the petrol tank too exposed as standard. Any advice either general or specific to a Frogeye would be much appreciated. The only trial I've done in England is the VSCC lakeland a number of years ago.
Thanks

Camel Classic Trial

Regs. are now out for this trial.

 

Sorry folks, there is an error on the entry form. Regs. state entry fee is 짙28, which is correct but entry form states 짙27 as last year which is wrong.

 

Whoops!

Marlin Roadster SWB For Sale

Marlin Roadster, SWB, 1991, in very good condition.  Rivenhood weather equipment, leather seats.  Windwings and rigid sidescreens.  Far too good for a trials car really but I also have a 10CWT axle and hubs which I could sell with the car, as well as some vinyl covered seats and loads of suspension spares.  I'm looking £2395 for the car.  David Toms, 01208 72233 or 07976 104756

SU manifold for 1600 X flow wanted

Has anyone out there got a sidedraught manifold for either single or twin SU's to fit a 1600cc ford X flow engine for my Dellow rep.

An other alterative would be a single weber 40/45 manifold/carb.
