Well as the car is a daily driver the 3.9 diff will do just fine.
The nostaglic drag racing is a bit of fun.
We have a selection of diffs . 3.9/4.2/4.5 so if we feel the need to change we can always pop one of these in.

Thanks , we already have anti tramp bars which I fitted a few weeks ago so hopefully with comp h/shafts we should be good to go.

High just been reading with interest this thread. I am just in the middle of rebuilding my sons 1098 axle. Am fitting a 3.9 diff/and a pair of s/hand esm h/shalfts which are labelled as handed. We have some spares as we will be running the car in nostalgic drag racing. The car has a 1293 A+ marina u...

Igot an AM one up in the loft I bought it in the 70s. Good times

And thats on the side of the road aswell

Thanks fellas,yes I think the front tyres are quite old.
I shall replace them and see if there is an improvement,

Oh I see ha, a mister clever head, NOT.
But I do agree with you about the tyres and will be addressing those forthwith.

Got firestone on the front but dont know how old they are although they look good,possible it could be them ?

Shocks ???

Oh and axle is tight and aligned

No play in rack ,track rod ends ,front susp all new,bushes front and rear , shocks fine,castor camber fine (has been checked) .

GOT one at work the same.
OH and sometimes we just have to get home under our own power,cant always carry a workshop and spares dept in the boot.
Im sure you will be fine with a gasket change.

Hi I am putting together my sons moggy which he will be using when I feel its a decent driver. He has just past his test and loves the car so I want to give him a half decent chance of an enjoyable drive. The problem at the mo is it seems very twitchy when driving,the tracking has been set to parral...

1275 is fine for bhp if built correctly

Does this mean the halfshafts wont fit a moggy casing ?
Sorry to hi jack the thread.

Thanks

Thanks live in Devon,hilly but where ever we want to go we have to use 70MPH expressway
I want to put 1300 marina engine and box in but finding one without having to take out a mortgage is nigh on impossible
This car is for my son,it was so much easier 30 years ago,lol

If I use a 3.9 diff and a 1098 engine and box what will be the advantages ?
and a 3.7 diff ?

H i what type of oil can I put in the rear dampers ?
It says 20/20 mineral oil in the manual,cant find that anywhere.
What do you guys and gals use ?

thanks chaps,will leave as standard and see how it goes .
