Thank you all for your input. As to the questions - I am in Lethbridge Alberta. I had considered an Anglia front axle but every car I come across on the internet - it appears that if they aren't using the axle, they have long since sold it. I did come across one years back at an estate sale, but I didn't need one at the time. Deep regret. Anyhow, back to the issue of the axle from China. When I finally tried to buy it, it turns out I needed a minimum order of 5 axles. On to plan B. Back on Alibaba, I find "DIY four wheel electric ATV modified karting steel tube front suspension". This one is independent front suspension and looks like a shrunken version of the Mustang II front end that is so popular among the street rod crowd. $135, and yes, they will sell just one. The only flaw to this idea is the cost of shipping - $970. Mulling it over, I talk to my wife. This calls for a vacation trip to China where I bring it back as luggage. It weighs 29 kg and with a bit of juggling in the suitcases, very possible. With this covid 19 still around, it may take some time before I go, but it is just as well since I do have another car project that I should finish first.
One more thing, I did find a magazine article on Small Fry. It was featured in the December 1978 issue of Street Rodder magazine. I googled the license plate GPK 641 and found a video of it on youtube.
