I also saw a MGB that was cut at the B pillar at a Charleston British Car Show. Looked cool, but there was a big flat plate on the front of the trailer that I thought could be improved upon. I'm thinking of going one step further and adding the front end of a bonnet nose, from the wheel-well forward to the rear of the car from the rear wheel back. Aerodynamic!
I'm also thinking of dropping the diff and letting the half axels turn on their own. I may have to weld a shaft between the rear trunions to keep the bottom of the wheels from going their own way. Here is a web page where I'm posting my ideas for a Spitfire Trailer. Let me know what you all think. After all, Click and Clack say that "every new project is an excuse to buy some more tools!"

I saw a similar one done by someone in the Chesapeake MG car club, with an MGA. Very cool. I wondered if it was worth dropping the differential and installing stub axles and trailer wheels. But not only would you have to extend the frame and you'd lose your trailer suspension. And then your wheels wouldn't match. But conversely the stock spit rear on a trailer is pretty heavy. A lot of extra weight to drag around. -Terry /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
