So Kate, what other spam dishes do you serve....

Lame, really lame. Do view your replies to the list before you mash the send button.

Poor mans limited slip involves the use of a split brake cable system and two levers. When wheel A spins, brake it and wheel B gets the nod. When wheel B spins...yeah, you got it. This works really well on old bugs as their cables terminate at the brakelever. And hey, if you want to stop, try both.

It is really astonishing how much swill you can muddle through using this technique. Observed trials aficionados in merry old can horse an austin A40 through stuff that will stick a 4wd of greater ground clearance.

Al (still trying to repair the Detlev Devastation and get my parts back from the sorry excuse)
