Re: TR6 upgrades - drum brake on "nose of diff"

[Allen Nugent <A.Nugent@unsw.edu.au>]

Malcolm,

I'm clear, now. I thought people were trying to tell me that differential
spinning of the wheels would be worse when braking the driveshaft than when
driving it, and I thought they were trying to invoke some other mechanism.

Actually, single-wheel spin could be worse - if the driveshaft brake
produced more torque than the transmission!

I guess we're stuck with the old little-drum-brake-in-the-hub trick.
