Open Drive Conversion Question

If I chose to convert to an open driveshaft trans in my 35 Ford and use some type of strut rod support like in the Drake book, am I still going to have issues such as bending of the rear wishbone, chatter on launch, etc?

Thanks,

Dennis

 

Not sure about the book reference but chatter should be less of an issue since the axle wouldn't be attached to the transmission by the torque tube. Any pics of the "strut rod support"? I've seen people add an upper link to the radius rods, basically making them ladder bars.

 

Here ya go...

 

I am also interested in this. I just picked up an open drive rear for my 31 coupe. I am still planning out what to do about the rear rr's

 

Does this kit replace the existing wishbone or is just modified with new bracket and heim joint?

 

just need enlarge the hole at ends of wishbone,bolts bracket on your x member..iyou ever need one of this bracket i have one from a past project 1/2 price!
