Ah, Jerry, THERE you are. Didn't figure you'd be answering questions at ES.

Since all the Triumph equipment has become hard to come by, I'm curious what you think of the possibility of substiting the Miata as a source. A few pictures below.

The wheelbase is 7 inches longer, I don't have a track for it but I'm sure it's a bit wider. I suppose there's substructure to be built on, I've seen artwork of the Spitfire frame, such as what I included.

If you don't like the Triumph drivetrain I'm sure this will bring some improvement.

If anyone familiar with the Miata frame as ideas, that'll certainly be of interest. But Jerry built the actual car, I'm most interested in his thoughts.

Good luck with the TriMagnum.
