Front Suspension
Various Spanners suggested small
differentials that could be used that
would fit within the confines of bush
wheels and a 1.5" x 5.5" flexible
plate. One was a "bolt" diff as featured
in MM January 1951 pg31. I built the
bolt diff and although it ran reasonably
smoothly via the crown wheel input,
any half shaft input resulted in a
very jerky drive. If all shouldered
bolts are used in the spiders they
catch on each other and substitution
of set screws only improved things
a bit. One could, I suppose, use shortened
threaded or pallet pins.
