Diff mounting brackets

[gtipping]

I was pondering the mounting of the brackets last night and wondered if anyone here had welded them directly to the chassis.

It seemed to me that separate brackets bolted to the chassis would just be another set of fixings that Mr IVA man would be inspecting.

Has anyone got any thoughts on welding the "book" brackets to the chassis or indeed a small redesign to make them more appropriate for welding?
