Eric Thanks for your comments Yes, I'm aware of the side load issue. The plan was to make disk brake backing plates that incorporate mounts for 2 upper links...
Well so much for the excuse " I'd love to build a car but I don't have the room" You could work on this in the basement! Or the bathroom. or the basement...
Thanks for the source Eric, Since the diff is made by Getrag, I may get lucky and find that some of the Porsche stuff fits. Eric <aeauto@...> wrote:...

Eric - i'm jumping in here on the tail end of your advice about the C5 needing a different type axle set up so as not to put a load on the diff -- what i'm...
I don't think any of the Porsche or Audi transaxles would work well if you put a side load on them. They all had suspension that used a telescoping halfshaft....
It just goes to show that there are worse things that can happen to a car than being unfinished. I bought a spare GT-12 front end for my Valkyrie for around...
I may be a bit oversealous, but this seems to be proof positive that some people should not be allowed to even TOUCH a tool. Maybe when there are enough...

There are quite a few GT40s around with this transaxle in them that are running 400 to 450 HP. You do need to practice some restraint when driving them and...

Eric or whoever knows - i now have the corvair rear suspension - exactly what do i have to do back there to be able to use an audi or any type of transaxle...
I looked up "telescoping halfshaft" on the web and from what I gathered it is an axle that can shrink or grow - two axle tubes with splines that can slide in...
thanks Mike - i'm still trying to figure it out - the engine/axle assy are mounted on rubber or whatever so there will be slight movement - - on the vair the...
From experience, when you break a U-joint on a 1965-69 Corvair, the wheel squats with the top of the tire going in and riding against the inner fender and the...
The telescoping feature of the halfshafts is to allow the wheels to move in and out as the suspension moves up and down. The in and out motion is caused by...
Check out ebay item #300179104569. Whoever ends up with this 1967 Valkyrie will need to do some major mods to the rear tilt body section to get it to look...
Holy exhaust pipe bends Batman! I wonder if he was trying to balance the exhaust pulses like a GT-40 "bundle of snakes". It also looks like the rear wheels are...
