Rear axle angle

[davea76]

So, just rebuilding the marlin and noticed that on fitting the rear axle is angled down at the front quite a bit, this is not the slotted type axle so no adjustment, is this normal on marlins ?

At the moment it is just a chassis with axles and engine but cant see therr being enough weight to make a difference added

On the assumption you are rebuilding a Roadster there should be a tapered block fitted between the spring and axle to give the correct angle and ride height. This should be referred to in the build manual.

This is a berlinetta with cortina mk3 rear axle

All sorted, turns out the springs i bought in good faith are not mk3 as free length is 13.5",
now need springs

Burton Power have the correct springs.
