Sierra / Granada Diff mounting
Well things are progressing here at Higham Towers, got my diff fitted today.
So I thought I'd pass on my little dodge for fitting the lower mounting, you know, where the Looooonnng bolt is supposed to go.
I didn't fancy using a long stud and I didn't fancy modifying the head of bolts, so I lay underneath and looked and thought. Then it
struck me, the slot underneath is about the right width, why not slip a lock nut in and let the sides hold the nut. Tried it but the nut
wouldn't quite fit on the bolt. So I very carefully removed/rounded three adjacent corners from the nut.
It worked a treat, the slot is just the right width to hold a lock nut and the bolts fit in from the outside.
I hope this helps some of you.

I ground down the heads of the bolts instead.

Yep thought about that but just seemed a lot more work opposed to the nut option.
