Hi Stot,
Making some serious progress there.....
Just a couple of observations though, I see you haven't fitted your diagonals either side of the engine yet.

Also where your bracket for the nose of the diff mounts to the diff plate you may eventually get a fracture in the plate as there is no support there.
Just a thought..

You're right I left D1 and 2 til after the engine was in. I also need to do the headlight brackets before I paint it.

I could put a diagonal back to D12 if it was under that much stress but I'm not sure it would be. Ill take another look at it. its only clamped on at the moment.

Cheers
Stot
