I overlooked that reply of Barry's the first time around and have to say
this about that:
I asked Kas Kastner about that and he said that he never recommended it and
apparently doesn't think much of the swing spring setup at all. That
version of the competition prep manual was an update that was done after he
was no longer working for Triumph.

Anyway...the reason I have a Swing spring in my Rotoflex setup, for one, is
because it is in the GT6 competition prep manual as a very effective system
to switch your MK2 to, and I can attest that it indeed works VERY well -

Barry,
I have a swing spring fitted to my 70 Spitfire MK3 Autocross Car that has
been converted to Rotoflex Axles. Initially it was very promising as the
car
felt like it was running on rails. I must admit that she is also become a
"sitter" and has not been out much for the last two years. Therefore until
proven
in competition I cannot attest to the validity of the set up but I also
referenced the competition prep manuals during preparation.
My 70 Spitfire MK 3 will be in Ann Arbor, Michigan for the 08 VTR North
American Challenge at the minimum.
