Look through the posts on here regarding the housings on MX 5 diffs they are not very strong.
Some thing else will be better adapted,Freelander maybe. |

However, the housings don't just break for the fun of it in normal use. The breakages reported on this forum were due to inappropriate mountings that allowed excessive movement of the diff. Looking at the Melos chassis, I'm wondering if any IRS system will foul the outer chassis tubes, you'll also need to fab up upper coilover mounting points, as these are shell mounted on an MX-5. One other option might be a Volvo live axle, I remember (but not quite where from) an Escort being fitted with a Volvo axle. EDIT: I saw it in PPC magazine...http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/76549 |
From what i hav elooked at the subframe should go under with out the anything hitting.
The main question at the miinute is will the Melos need an IVA if it has the MX5 subframe fitted, as it already registered?? My self i dont think it will, i understand this from my 4x4 off roadign days, but that was a few years back things could of changed. If you cut the cahssis thats an IVA, but you can add to the chassi?? |
