In what orientation?
If using the book brackets then obviously it will self jig if doing your own thing then drive shaft centreline is 90deg to chassis centreline

There is a casting line on the casing of the diff,it is the center of the pinion and should line up in the center of the chassis as stated previously.

Hi,

I will after have a look for the line.
I will set this as level with chassis.

Is the line obvious on the casing?

Yes, thin ridge along center line directly inline with center of the diff flange/pinion nut.
