The V8 Owners Forum -

If you are thinking Lexus or BMW V8, they are very wide. I tried a Lexus in my Alpine/Tiger engine bay

Thanks. I might just get the kids Meccano out of the loft then

Hi folks. Im building a Sunbeam Tiger replica. Rear axle is an ex-Scimitar Salisbury. I have welded on the pads for the leaf springs and left the upper mount for radius arms.
