A lot of racers use a sliding block rear end. If you want to read more about
that, do a search in the suspension section of the BB.
BTW, you might want to look closer at my welds before you have me work on
your 510  |
Luckly it is a well located rear axle that allows 'twist', but it does have a high roll centre that can be fixed by the use of the sliding block, a watts linkage or panhard rod.
