- Hi Pauls! I am so sorry about the divorce, and about your having to let your neat stuff go. That really is a shame. At least you're not giving up on the neat stuff! I currently run a 1969 vintage Spi

- Hi Henry! I don't use a camber compensator. I use a later Spit rear end (slightly wider than the earlier), a locked diff (welded) and a dearched spring and it does fine for me. No hint of squirrelly

- CAMBER COMPENSATOR! Here I'm going to show my ignorance -- I'm a Mk. I guy, Paul's building a Mk. III. Is it the same swing-axle rear? If so, then YES, he must address it. And that under-spring thing
