I talked to a guy in Connecticut last year who did the complete rotary
conversion (including rear axle) on his Bugeye. He narrowed the axle
himself, but told me about a Mazda racing outfit in the Midwest that will
narrow the unit for around $200. The quarter eliptic springs car need the
calipers repositioned but the semi-eliptic cars do not. I can't remeber the
name of the outfit, but I can find out. They are probably advertised in any
Mazda focused magazine too.
