Thanks for taking the time to reply, Your answers have given me more confidence in the way forward. I was coming to the conclusion that I would stick with drums on the rear myself. So now I'm looking at donor vehicles as I pass them in the street. Seeing which have Diffs, drums, single axle and 5 studs. I'm going to keep a little note pad with me and then look up their diff. Ratios when I get back
I think my brother and I will be able to come to some solution with the cable ends. I've never heard of having the springs re-arched, I shall have to look this up later and see if there is anybody near me. Again thanks for your help. Paul.
