Brilliant, thank you very much for that. I will get hold of Talon Phil a bit quick.

The other option is to use the Transit drag links and ream out the holes in the uprights to match.

I measured from the front of the water pump pulley to the front cross member and it's approximately 300mm. I wish I moved the engine back a little more though as the cam cover just catches the bonnet right at the front. Not too much of a problem though as I plan to fit a bonnet scoop anyway..:D |

I might wait until you have chopped your bonnet to see that is like. If you removed the flange without cutting the top would it fit? David |

I have my engine a bit further to the passenger side which gives me steering rack and inlet clearance. I'm using the Equinox bonnet and it fits without cutouts. Cheers Stot |

So in fact yours is further back... |

Mx5 diff mounting issue
After stressing about which direction I want to take my mx5 build, the broken diff nose issue keeps arising. Off work with a broken leg, so I am bored and decided to look into it. My local mazda dealer said that it was an issue on the 1.6 mx5, but the 1.8 diff is a lot stronger. I googled it, and can't find any 1.8 diff failures, only 1.6. Are we all worrying about nothing? Or is there a genuine problem, not that well publicised. If my car was a 1.6, I would drop the 1.8 in as a matter of course. But my car is a 1.8, so do I risk it ? Or look into better support ? Just thinking about trying to keep the weight down, and don't want to over complicate the build if I can help it.

Thanks for that. I noticed last night that the mk3 diff is mounted from the top. It would be a breeze to fit to the chassis, but I am not sure if its compatible with mk 1 and mk 2 models ?
