Parma Euro Panther project - Chris Arnold special

Yes, Parma parts are really hard to find. I could get Associated axle and try that. It’s 1/4 diameter, does Parma have the same? Diff flange may be different but I could use Associated parts there too. It would be great to get the car driveable again!

Beautiful build!

Thanks!
The Chris Arnold special car is one of my favorites too.

Yes Parma also used 1/4" rear axle. This is common for all American and most British 1/12 scale cars.
But the Parma uses a quite narrow pod with different offset wheel hubs, that might be a problem. If you can get other rear axle, make sure length of rear axle is same on both ends. Also diff rings and nut could be different.
During build I found the diff hub don´t like to work with some other manufacturers parts.

OK, thank you for info! I think I will try to source Parma axle first and if I can't find one then use Associated axle. I'm in no hurry with this one.

Seems that I have lost the rear axle completely. So everything including the diff is missing. I suppose there is no point for me trying to restore it. Any interest in parts here? Here’s all that is left.
