Also reinforced the trailing arm brackets for lateral loads--in stock form, they're a weak link in the system. Haven't run the car yet -- still working on the conversion (1750 into my 1963 101 Spider), but am optimistic this will be a good upgrade. Unlike you, I chose to go with disc brakes all the way around--for simplicities and $$$ sake, but loved the old drums. Don't have current contact information for Dan Zebel, unfortunately.

Also searched Zebal, with no luck.
The speed shop that will be doing the axle has a lot of experience in building race cars, so it will be done well.
Also for the more sensitive natures that may be reading your post, we DO appreciate your use of ***'y.
