am about to position the rear axle, but someone told me wait until I had the rear nudgaurds- as it is important position it relative to these . Any thoughts -Phil
sorry !!! meant MUDGUARDS !!!!
mudgaurds went in last in my case, i found it much easier to get the wheel central in the arch this way, (positioning arch rather than axle) if you
did it other way you run the risk of the wheel not been in the center of the arch, i would have thought ? i also did not do the bendy bit from the top
chassis rail to the rear till i had the arch bolted on, that way i could follow the line of the arch, so my 2p worht is......
axle, arch, bendy bit, may be wrong but.......it worked for me 
hope that makes sense?
thanks john ---what did you use as a reference point in the axle positioning ? ie centre of the hub in ;ine with ??
i used the 4 tie rods as a guide, fitted them to axle, other end to brackets, pushed brakets up to chassis and tacked them in position, checked
everyting for square and welded brackets to chassis.......my tie rods are adjustable but i have had car on a jig and have not had to adjust them from
initial fitting so i can't have been far away.....i guess this is one of many ways of doing it but it worked for me.....i also placed a 3/4 bit of box
inbetween axle and bottom chassis rail when fixing spring/shocker brakets, this made sure the axle did not clonk/hit/smash into chassis when shock's
where at full stretch, again maybe not the proper way but it worked fine for me....
