Hi All,
Thank you for the sage advice and comments. At this point, I've decided to risk not attending to this. My reasoning is that the car was rebodied with a second replica body by the fellow I bought the car from. He put the CC body on circa 1994. Prior to that, the car had another Replica body and was raced and the chassis had been modified with the wider track rear axle and semi-gilding brakes. So the car has been running with the same rear axle set up for at least around thirty years. So I have to assume that since it worked well enough for that period with no breakages, then I won't look for trouble. If it does break an axle, then I will tackle it at that point.
