I am wondering if I can get a diffuser in with a Live Axle. There was a Fury at Fury Sportscars the other day with a diffuser and live axle....Anyone any thoughts as to if this would fit.

I saw a striker at stoneleigh with a live axle and diffuser just like the car in the link you have put up. this type will need to have a sealed rear end from the wheels and tunnel as the last thing you need is air in the back of the body work.

The striker i saw had the inner of the rear wheels boxed in but had a slot in them for the axle to move up and down and as such had the complete rear end sealed. I think if you are going to do this then you would need some vents in the rear panels.
i have added the 2 versions of my diffusers, one angled up from the diff cage and the new one is flat with a up swept end. The main thing is to keep the flat underside past the rear of the bodywork

I found a rear diffuser at @7degree angle worked well but not as well as a rear wing .
