Agreed - but the Sierra diff is mounted at the nose, not on thin arms 300mm away from the application of torque. The mazda diffs are designed to fail. that's why the O/S arm has 2 notches taken out the arm.
Please don't think im shooting you all down - im certainly no expert!
heres a few shots of a simpe idea:

viewed from below/rear

Its simply 25x25x1.2 (but I will use 40x20x3) tube. I will of course use bolts to secure it, and weld it into the chassis with stiffener plates.
Can anyone see any issues?
