I have revision 3 notes, so maybe it was not in the earlier build spec. Maybe we were all that keen, we missed it. 19mm box & 5mm plate it is !

That was what spud and nathan used but it failed. Partly due to the mount and they also didn't use the large plates that go under the diff mounts. Nathan then modified the mount be removing the rubber engine mount and replaced it with a steel bracket. Nothing to stop the diff twisting though
