Who makes a Sierra size De Dion axle assembly?

As title really, who makes and supplies De Dion axle assemblies suitable for use with sandard width Sierra set-up...?

I know GTS do and I've spoken to Martin Keenan @ MK Engineering, but he no longer has a jig to make them.


Failing that, who makes them for say an Escort width car?

There are a few variables.

You can get a narrowed one to fit a book chassis.
You can get a Sierra width one to fit a book chassis.
You can get a Sierra width one to fit a +4" chassis as well.
The difference in the latter is in the positioning of the brackets for the trailing arms.

Maybe best to make sure which one you want before buying, whenever you find one.

Good point although I'm not after one for a locost chassis.

Will check out 3GE and see what they've got.
