If you're going to have a dig at anything Mark then at least have the balls to do it under your own regular login allowing other users to know who is making these comments and the reasons why. You are still a director of Vodou auto kits aren't you?

Back to the subject of the diff plates, the design of the chassis was intended to follow the Haynes chassis with only minimal / relevant changes required to fit mazda running gear. The car has had some good abuse now and thrashing about the estate, had a good look over the full chassis and everything looks fine, after all most of the weight of the diff is taken by the bottom fixing rather than hanging off the top frame. If there is any doubt though then sure upgrade the plate to 5mm.

All the Best.....AndyH
