Bill Dentin replied to Dave but I guess he didn't copy the group. He has a
Peerless. I didn't realize they had a De Dion. That makes things a lot more
complex. Cool looking cars though.

Dave:
The Peerless has a De Dion Tube rear end as one of it's primary features.
Stuffing a TR3 axle assembly would make it roll around, but methinks the
modifications necessary are going to destroy the value of the car.
The center section of the rear end is Salisbury, so parts should be
available. The bearings for the tube assembly can't be that tough to turn
up.
There is a good UK web site on the marque, and before making any
modifications I'd strongly suggest your friend do some research and get in
touch with other owners for their suggestions. There are not many of these
beasts around, so it would be a shame to butcher one for lack of
information.

Is Dean out there? If I remember correctly, his Peerless (or was it a
Warwick) is running some kind of interesting hybrid rear end with a
different diff.
