Sorry about being a bit late to answer this one.
I run a solid axle, power to the left hand wheel only (and braking)
I do however put an axle clamp against my free wheel which makes it behave a bit like a diff.
Re a diff, I'm happy to save the mass, others prefer the extra grip round corners.

Good afternoon to all.

And here it is the start of the build diary for my son and I's new CK!!!
The challenge is to build this during the school summer holidays this year...note 'this year'...nothing like making it easy for one self.
Thank you to the committee for letting me go ahead with my front suspension design, a real back of a cornflakes packet type drawing,
that should at least look something like the original, if you squint at bit, whilst looking into a sandstorm.

Photos attached to show just how easy a build this should be, or put another way...how the hell did this ever seem like a good idea 

Some selected quotes about the original car that make it such an attractive project...
'the ability to create a car that was wonderful in some respects, but sadly crass in others'
'the E-type might have been a formidable machine. But as he concedes: “In some ways the car is a really lovely thing, and in other ways they just got it so wrong.”'
And finally... 'Racing GP1 is a real struggle because you never know what’s going to go wrong next!'

So with a hay hoo pip and dandy chaps, what could possibly go wrong 

Both are excellent choices, but for me hands down is the Alvis, everything about screams 'build me, build me!'

Probably best to simplify this 

Hang on a second, you'll be suggesting I go all sensible next...Bahhhhh humbug, never going to happen, not on my watch, I mean where's the fun in that!!! 

Tuckers front suspension...never come across that before, thanks for the info.

Good morning all.

Looking at the inspiration car, it has twin trailing arms as it's front suspension, now how in the heck do I do that easily???
Let me emphasis the easily bit!!!
Any one know of an old light weight car I could rob, or can think of an simples way of achieving this?
Preferably using no more than scraps of plywood, empty sweet wrappers, and the change found down the back of the sofa!!!

Mine is just like a go kart...a triangular flange at the bottom of the steering column, which the
steering arms attach to. You can vary the 'speed' by how far the attachment of the arms is from the center
of the column...simple, cheap, and feels very alive!
The CK I've had a go in with a rack (Wolsey Hornet) is very civilized.
You pays your money and takes your choice.

Yay, good to see you've made some progress.
