I have removed my diff to fit the reverse ring gear and the engine cradle as part of my quest to lower the engine,.

When refitted with the lower mounts the chain adjuster mount would have fouled the frame so i cut them off

Checking the parts i have discovered more misery :( :( the diff mount is all over the place the top mounting holes are not square and don't line up the rectangular section where diff mounts are not square :( .

With the diff bolted to the mount it pulls everything around enough that it would (might) work but the top screwed rod needs quite a tap with a mallet to get it through the mounting bushes :rolleyes: , with the assembly built up like this the diff rotates with a fair bit of friction, i cant leave it like this so all this is going to be remade, not really a problem but it all takes time.........


Oh and the reverse ring gear supplied is too big :(
