Looking for a little help, direction, advice, or whatever I can get.
My TR4 is a solid axle car with a Detroit Locker differential which I will be vintage racing with. I understand my choices are the Southwick or a Ford 8" conversion. I have a spare rear end to send the parts to Southwick but I was also trying to research the Ford 8" before making the leap. In reading this, and other sites, seems to be fairly split between the two. While I believe I have the Southwick figured out, I am not familiar with who might be able to do the Ford conversion. I called Dutchman Motor Sports in ID today, and they had no idea of what I was speaking of, even though I found several MG's who said they did it for them.
My main purpose of the post is regarding the actual axle swap due to the vulnerability of the stock Triumph axle. Everybody tells me I need to drive the 'shiny side' up.
Any bones you can throw my way are appreciated.
