This is a very interesting setup and discussion.

Formula VEEs, especially the later "zero roll" designs have elastomeric puc=
ks in the droop limiters to ease the shock on rebound. Might not be worth t=
he complexity in the Spitfire.

I would love to see a back to back experiment between this setup and one wi=
th very short dampers which limited the droop to the same degree as the cab=
le system we're discussing. I think a large question now is, with the stati=
c camber of this setup, whether jacking and tuck-under still prevail, or is=
 cornering squat possible? If cornering squat is possible, then the cable a=
nd inside spring are exacerbating it, but this may be ok if the body rolls =
enough.

This pre-loaded spring setup does not result in "infinite rate" when reachi=
ng the travel limit or droop, but in extension or downward wheel travel, do=
es result in 0 lbf change per 0 inches of deflection.  This, however, does =
not mean that the rear tire contact patch sees zero force from the ground. =
 Here, steady state breaking potential for the rear axle will be limited by=
 contact patch shape/size and forward weight transfer. Certainly, droop lim=
iting to zero degrees camber will result in the best contact patch and may =
reduce forward weight transfer because the C.G. may remain lower in this se=
tup than one with the rear spring helping to lift the rear of the car.

What I meant by "infinite spring rate" is, based on my understanding of the=
 system you're describing, the condition when both rear axles droop and hit=
 the end of the cable "leash".  As I understand it, you essentially had bot=
h rear axles hanging from a single cable that slid from side to side under =
cornering loads but, under braking, with both axles traveling downward at t=
he same time, would be arrested by hitting the end of that cable "leash".  =
Am I understanding the setup correctly?  I would think that would be simila=
r to having a leaf spring hit the bump stop and going from whatever the spr=
ing rate is to *no* spring, or "infinite spring rate".



I asked because I considered creating a similar system once for my Spit rac=
er, as well as for my dad's swing axle GT6 racer, but wanted either to add =
a spring in the middle of the cable or to run the cable over a spring-loade=
d central pully of some sort - just to ease the transition from normal spri=
ng operation to full leash arrest.   Maybe that wouldn't be necessary?

Yes, it caused no trouble for me. Neither road racing nor autocrossing. Ess=
entially no droop. And FWIW, on numerous occasions when other people have d=
riven my car, they often commented on how well it handled. Very neutral. I =
never did the turnbuckle thing on mine



Originally it had a limited slip diff, but I finally wore that thing out. R=
eplaced with a welded-up rear. It was even better, tighter. (But harder to =
push around in the paddock.) I usually had a 4:55, best for autocrossing an=
d most MiDiv tracks. Originally it had a 4:11 but I haven't used that for d=
ecades. Borrowed a 3:89 to do the 2011 Runoffs at Road America.



Not sure what you mean by "infinite spring rate." The only spring is the tr=
ansverse springs over the top of the diff (and I still had the stock spring=
!). When I went to do a straight-line stop, it stopped. In a straight line.=
 It would trail brake nicely and predictably, with both tires on the ground=
. As long as I didn't run out of talent and screw up the braking, upsetting=
 the balance.

Are we talking the camber compensator for the Spitfire that has a middle mo=
unting bolted to the bottom three bolts of the differential?



The scariest moment I ever had in my 1964 Spitfire, back when it was my dai=
ly driver (ca. 1967), was when my diff locked up as I was passing a semi on=
 I-35 in Kansas City. I barely got the car over to the shoulder without get=
ting run over, then spent six hours on the roadside waiting for AAA to send=
 me a tow truck! (That's when I decided not to renew my AAA membership, but=
 I digress).



Turned out the middle mounting on that camber compensator had broken off th=
e sections on the two end bolts because of the constant flexing on it, so o=
nly the middle bolt was holding it in place. The constant action on that on=
e bolt eventually made the round bolt hole oval shaped, and all the diff fl=
uid drained out. A dry diff really doesn't work all that well.



I drove the car without a CC for a few years, then gave it to my brother (w=
ho's a mechanic) to turn into a race car, He came up with a solution which =
I understand originated with Volkswagen owners to address the Beetle's swin=
g-axle issues.



He tied a cable to the bottom shock mount, ran it up to a pulley attached t=
o the top shock mount, then across to the same setup on the other side.

[A diagram of a shock bolt  AI-generated content may be incorrect.]

The biggest modification was to take that big bolt at the top of the shock,=
 drill and tap it through the head to take a shouldered 1/4-inch bolt which=
 becomes the hub for the pulley. Not shown, a simple retainer over the top =
of the pulley to prevent the cable from jumping off.



He did that in 1971. He raced the car for three years, then I got it back a=
nd raced and autocrossed it through 2011. In all that time, 40 years, I rep=
laced the cable just once.



Since it was going on a race car, we jacked the rear suspension as high as =
we could (filled the trunk with heavy stuff while the car was on jackstands=
, then sat someone in the trunk while we attached the cable) which both low=
ered the car and stiffened the ride. I later bought another '64 Spit as a s=
treet car and did the same trick, but let the suspension droop more so it w=
as softer for street use (I also didn't autocross that car). On that one I =
found a pulley that came with a shroud, didn't need the retainer.



It works as a camber compensator without that evil spring. The swing axle d=
oesn't swing any more. Both rear wheels remain constant with each other.



I've given this design to several other drivers. One came up with a clever =
trick - he cut an opening in the diff tunnel under the gas tank (which also=
 provides nice access to the bolts holding the spring to the top of the dif=
f). Then he installed a turnbuckle in the cable at that location. Adjustabl=
e suspension! Cheap and easy. And IMHO safer.

hello everyone,



I'm looking for a leaf spring manufacturer to make up about 25 single leaf =
springs. Preferably close to Milwaukee but just about anywhere might work. =
Must do good work and be reliable. These springs would be for the TR camber=
 compensators. Doing some shopping around since one I've used has doubled t=
he cost in 5 years. Thanks in advance.



Cheers,

Ralph

m you&#8217;re describing, the condition when both rear axles droop and hit=
 the end of the cable &#8220;leash&#8221;.&nbsp; As I understand it, you
 essentially had both rear axles hanging from a single cable that slid from=
 side to side under cornering loads but, under braking, with both axles tra=
veling downward at the same time, would be arrested by hitting the end of t=
hat cable &#8220;leash&#8221;.&nbsp; Am I understanding
 the setup correctly?&nbsp; I would think that would be similar to having a=
 leaf spring hit the bump stop and going from whatever the spring rate is t=
o *<b>no</b>* spring, or &#8220;infinite spring rate&#8221;.</span><o:p></o=

<p class=3D"xmsonormal"><span style=3D"font-size:11.0pt">Turned out the mid=

 action on that one bolt eventually made the round bolt hole oval shaped, a=
