Hi, Would anybody know if the web site ekmpower9 (i think something to do with gts tuning) is ok to purchase from?
I am looking to buy a De Dion axle and they seem to be the only people selling them, or does anybody know one for sale.
Thanks.

Ha, I will not even think about it. Get one made to rorty's design

Thanks, could you explain what rorty's design is please? i have a diagram taken from the empower site which shows how to build one, is it the same one?

Thanks

Hi,

I built my car using a variation of the Rorty axle. Here is a link to my build diary. Let me know if you have any questions.

That site used to be the GTS site and was sold by Darren quite a while ago, the current owner had it on eBay for sale recently.

I would steer clear.
