I'm fitting a re-bracketed Scimitar (Jag Mk2) Axle to the original leaf springs in my Austin A70.
So what angle should I set the Drive flange/pinion angle to?
The original Austin axle had lever arm shocks and the Scimitar used pretty much vertical coil over units. Is there any science behind choosing a shock angle or unit? I was going to use something off a Ford Sierra/scorpio (or even a spring-less Scimitar unit as I have 4 of those).
Are banded steel rims fit for purpose these days, or a disaster waiting to happen?
Comments welcome, especially helpful ones ;-)
Thanks
