Just bought one of the bay for not much money and too much fizzy pop. I have a mentalist idea of fitting the complete running gear etc into the tiger.
Anyone got an links to websites that could help.

I have essentially an MK with MX5 running gear. If you use the whole rear assembly, it has the advantage of not cracking anything, but will be heavy.

Heavier yes but lighter than what i have at the moment which is the complete rear end of a sierra.

Why not use the Sierra diff? Even Caterham uses those. I've seen them. Also of course, Haynes Roadster et al. It's a more common
arrangement over where you are, and may save some headaches down the road, as it were.
The ratio is different though, so make sure it's what you need for the engine you want.
