Hello Bob,
As usual, incisive and cogent observations.
I have surgery #2 tomorrow so when I get to where I can converse again, I may call - if you shortened an XJ6/12 pair, but left them somewhere around 2" longer than the E-type (the manual has the horizontal center to center distance as 17.635" between the pivot bores for the 3.8S) then I could do the suggested angle or similar for the outer ends, that might work!
Hello Rick,
The center section seems fine so far. Mike at CWI seemed to think that the only change I need to make is to beef the next set of arms. He built the diff so it should be OK
