Thanks for the helpful comments

UPDATE

1 Happy with the drive shafts looks like there was no problem at all.

2 Cut a bit off the long lower sus bolts they now clear the wheel rim.

3 Dummy struts in progress

4 Just to clear up the confusion CP10 s are fully welded in place with the nearside one upside down.It will be a nightmare to grind out or it could be re drilled and the holes closed upwith weld. I reason it may be a lot easier to weld the the diff mount plates to the CPs unless there was a reason why I shouldn't. The diff mount brackets are also fully welded as per spec

Cheers

Adrian PS Any thoughts on welding up diff mounts as in 4?

Diff now fits properly. I managed to re drill the holes without smashing the drill bit(the new holes circumferences crossed the old holes )

Donor car gone --lifted off the drive today . I got a tenner from two Irish gentlemen. None of the scrap merchants were interested . Two years ago they'd have fought over it Anyway I only paid £200 for it and I kept some bits to try on e bay.

Bolted in the pedal box , Painted rear drums and back plates and cleared up the garage ready for the grand opening

Cut some bits of scrap 25x25 at 5 1/2 ins and 4" and drill centers to match shock holes and that will give you a good idea of ride height unladen,long cap/allen bolts work well in the rear lower wishbone to upright, 240mm if I remember.
