it will be easier to change flange on your prop as the diff has a pre-load setting and you will have to put new crush washer in and set pre-load. and if you get it wrong you will f##k it

an hour and half to fit an axle - not that bad , try doing that on a modern car :ninja: ok Dave I take your point! but only had to fit shackle's bolts & leaf spring bolts and there was 3 off us :playball: it was paint thickness underneath & bush's a bit to wide

Hi MLI I used masterguard stonechip high build,I used about 10 canisters.also MLI my gearbox has been fixed now they have machined the input shaft. it had previously been rebuilt with a single-rail input shaft not a three rail-input shaft and that was the discrepancy

yes i was very impressed with por-15. it is very addictive and you can't stop painting with it,I used por-15 chassis black on some suspension parts and had good results. I will be picking the car up in 2 weeks time, then the build begins. will be looking forward to driving the bloody thing :cheers:
