Thanks. I also recently learned that oil leakage from the transaxle was not particularly compatible with the inboard drums. Another reason for the swap!
I've also been told that as far as unsprung weight, that it isn't all that relevant in today's smooth race tracks.
So I'm leaving them as is for now.
The next question we're debating is leaving the 1500 cc pre-crossflow Ford engine in there, or going with a 1500cc 356 engine. One of the 28 factory Elva Mk6s was built for a 356 engine (most were Coventry Climax, one was Alfa Romeo, a coupe were Ford, and of course the 356). I'm told that we'd be able to race it at SVRA and VARA. But we might have trouble at the Monterey Historics. We're very far from being able to race there. But it is an ultimate hope and goal that we can. So we're looking into it.
