Will go a bit more, but happy with that. With a bit of adjustment in the mount i should get it 100% straight... So i can drop the mount off tomoz.
That mount doesn't look that strong, perhaps brace it with some cardboard?
Gonna touch the paint up while you're there then?
you should use these on the holes just to be sure

Should of took tother shaft out, put a bar through the diff and tapped the cv out that way. Depending on if you have a std diff or not.
I remember trying get a smashed cv out Pauls F28 at Combe, with a similar result.
lol it did the job. Touched the paint up.Quote:

Same we adding on the fines. As 70% will will be on the main body of the mount it wouldn't be needed. Knowing he knows what he's doing i left him too it.
The mount.. Had the holes welded up for strength and so it looks better.
