MX5 Diff Mount
 

Fitted the diff last night, is the 205 measurement correct, it looks to me like the drive shafts will be point forward.

I also note that the front of the diff is not central to the transmission tunnel, is this correct?

Thanks

Dave

what plans are you using? i am using a talon chassis kit and yes the drive flange is offset slightly and shafts point forward a bit. you need to take into account the sliding movement of the cv joints with suspension travel

Thanks Richard, I'm using the Saturn Plans so I know it's different.

On the Saturn plans the driveshafts do point forward a bit. Have a look through the various threads of completed cars as the diff nose mount on those plans isn't strong enough.

David

I'll second that.
Having the diff mount fail and snap the diff in two isn't much fun!
