so in the last post i was having some issues with the diff and the drive shaft boots not fitting correctly, the problem was that once every thing was bolted up, the boots were in contact with the chassis leg, and the prop shaft coupling was sitting far to close to the chassis rail, meaning that when the prop was fitted it would have been in contact with this rail, so to get round the first problem i had to make up some 4mm thick spacers that go between the diff bushes and the diff mounts, this will push the diff down slightly giving the needed clearance with the boots.
the second issue with the prop coupling being to close to the chassis rail is caused due to the distorsion when welding up the brackets, when i went to pick up my completion kit, i spoke to Ian to ask if i could have a look at another set to see if this distorsion was as bad, it turns out it was, so i came back with the same set, and have had to space out with washers when bolting up to the suspension mounts to try and pull the diff around, this seems to have done the trick.
