     So Kate, what other spam dishes do you serve....

     Lame, really lame.  Do view your replies to the list before you mash
     the send button.

     Poor mans limited slip involves the use of a split brake cable system
     and two levers.  When wheel A spins, brake it and wheel B gets the
     nod.  When wheel B spins...yeah, you got it.  This works really well
     on old bugs as their cables terminate at the brakelever.  And hey, if
     you want to stop, try both.

     It is really astonishing how much swill you can muddle through using
     this technique.  Observed trials aficionados in merry old can horse an
     austin A40 through stuff that will stick a 4wd of greater ground
     clearance.

     Al (still trying to repair the Detlev Devastation and get my parts
     back from the sorry excuse)
