they got high flow cats built in, not cheap but i wasn't expecting cheap, cost £1k, do you think that was fair, front flange had to be made as
he couldn't get them off the shelf.

John & Mark. you are my kind of mad. Keep up the good work. Those rear uprights look superb.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Sorry haven't weighed the diff yet, the case is alloy, but the diff is big an weighs a bit, haven't got crown wheel and pinion yet, did
you want the weight of the complete diff ready to run with everything in it.

Yeah, only when you've got time I weighed Sierra diff and it was about 25kgs, Jag was about 47kgs, so depending on what yours weighs (and cost
etc) and given the number of v. low ratios, that may be the way to go
Cheers

looking good john and mark. not sure on the mallet though - could you not get de-malletted calipers?
i see you have done loads more to the chassis.
can you guys take loads more pictures and post them up of the whole lot so far?
