Nice work :)

Still no major updates, ordered my solid engine mounts,trans x diff with f20 side gears, equal length shafts and stack ST8100 dash and loom http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/image...es/biggrin.gif

Waiting for the steel tube to arrive can hopefully start some bending soon.

Next remove the gears. Some of you may notice that the end of the box isnt the same as most f13's. Thats due to it being an f10 ge****t in the f13 casing. Had to do this as the f10 casing isnt suitable for the 1600.

Thats as far as i got need to modify the turret to take the straight to box linkage. As soon as i get the bolts will get the diff in and stick all new gaskets on the box.

Top work! Will you need to get the equal length shaft shortened at all to allow for the smaller block or space the braket out?

Can I just ask, what is the blue gel/grease you've put around the diff seals? I've recently rebuilt my 'box and both the new diff seals are leaking....

Because im running a wide track i can keep the shaft lengths standard. Im going to have to make a bracket to hang the bracket off due to only one hole lining up.

The "blue stuff" is called universal blue and is made by Hylomar. Dont know what it will be like on seals. The company i work for (rolls royce) originally invented the stuff for their engines and sold the recipe to hylomar so if its good enough for the merlin engine its good enough for the nova lol .
