De-dion back end.
I'm new to the scene Guys, so be gental with me.
Has anyone actually built a de-dion axle to Rorty's plans? Looking at the drawings the de-dion tube is parrallel at the ends, but the trailing
arm brackets (5.3 degrees) suggest some toe in, is this right?
This has probably been asked a thousand times before, but due to ultraslow dial up i could be days trying to sort through the various posts to find
what i want.
Thanks Guys.

Hi and welcome
Craig1410 built his own DeDion, but I couldn't tell you to which design. Do a search of his website and you may discover more info.
I have a dedion, but it's a bought in one.

I thought Rorty's plan only had a single bend in the middle and the end brackets made up for this by going on at an angle? Could be wrong
though.

Also, if you're unsure see the other threads on here with posts by jroberts. He's in the process of building complete kits for you to weld
up how you like. U2U him if interested. They shoud be roughly £90 a kit. And if you ask nicely, he may do a one off if desired. I know, since he is
for me.
