I like your math! :-)
Glad I wasn't much younger when it happened, though. I can envision myself at
"live forever" 18, ignoring the problem until such time as it, well, manifested
itself in a truly spectacular and possibly (near-)fatal way. Having part of the
rear suspension let go completely "at speed" is likely NOT to result in a
favorable outcome. I know what happens when a swing-axle Spitfire u-joint blows
@ 35 mph, and I also know what happens when a Spitfire front vertical link
shears off in the trunnion @ 10 mph. Those are pretty much the "limits of the
limits" I wish to explore!
