I suppose the axle twisted up & down because they didn't have traction bars.
Saw a couple of big Healeys retrofitted with V-8's. Lots of fun but even the 72-spoke wire wheels could not take the torque for long.
No surprise. Most of the MGB V8 guys run alloy wheels. What wheels did they use on the Le Mans or 3,000?
