    Ordered a new oil seal (£22 from gm all in, £11 from ebay... Well i have a spare)

    Fitted



    Part number of the seal.



    Damage to paint work having to leaver the cv joint out...



    Got the shaft back in,Fitted my PAD mount..





    Worked out when it should fit too..
    Got a scissor jack in between the box and the cross member, starting winding it till...





    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?

    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.

    I know, but my garage isn't big enough to be able to work on both sides.. The drivers side is about 2" from the wall at the mo... I have a Quafe diff too

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Picked the mount up, dropped it off at 11ish, picked it up at 2. After talking to the fab man, about getting a mount made up. He said tbh plating the side that needs extending will be just as strong. 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.





    Nice welding, lots of penetration





    Gonna refit tomoz and work out where to drill the new holes.

    nice to see your still working hard on the nova benn whilst ive lost all enthusiasm for working on cars.

    any other plans over the winter mate? any plans on wheels yet?
    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”
