Access to diff bolts
How has everyone approached this? If I fit the rear seat panel as per 'the book' then I won't be able to get at the heads of the bolts which hold the diff brackets in place. Is this a 'fit and forget' bit of work - or have others left cutouts in the panel to allow access?

I cut circular holes in my seat back panel so I could get a socket over my diff mount bolts, then fitted plastic blanking plugs to fill them.

Can't quite remember where I got them from, but chances are I liberated them from work :)

On my build (sierra based) there is no need for access holes if you have mounted the diff brackets with the head of the bolt being inside of the chassis there is still enough space to get a spanner in from behind even after the seat back is fitted but it does mean the bolt has to stay there, the other good alternative would be to tack the bolts in.

I just put nuts into the tight space. Fiddly, but workable.
