Stupid Build Questions (as i have no manual)

ok im completely stumped with the following bits

1. how on gods earth am I supposed to get the diff bolts in, they are so long that they hit the chassis when trying to put them in, how do i get them in or are different bolts required?

2. does anyone have a photo of where there brake lines run on an Indy R. I have some piping but all i know is where each goes as they where nice enough to put masking tape on each writing on what goes where

the diff bolts from the inside to outside with these or similiar.

i had a headache and ended up with loops in the brakelines to fit them, they seem to be too long.
if i did it again i would buy a pipe flarer and cut them down and run them how i want.

the orginal sierra bolts can be used on the indy, by you have to do the bottom one first tilting the diff, best to have 2 people for this.

and brakes lines if it is the same as teh indy, best to get a brake falre kit, you might need it, i know i did.

The Locst book is really the manual for the Indy.

Or atleast, it will help you a lot.

I would imagine the new Locost book (by Chris Gibbs) will be more helpful still.

Cheers,
James
