I have had a little rethink regarding my pipework down the trans tunnel.....not having the diff or handbrake cable mounted meant my guesswork regarding them was way out, so I have reworked them to clear the above items, one pipe I had to feed through the diff bracket which worked out quite well and I have moved the brake pipe down to the bottom to stop from crossing over as Sylvain pointed out, so here are the new trans tunnel pipework photo's

Got the chassis right way up now and it will be staying that way from now on.
Nearside floor now fitted and spent last night fitting the diff, went in well with no conflict from pipework.....only thing I had to do was pack out the brake T union to reduce the sharp bending of the pipes.

That looks good Kevin, very neat. Also like the way you have mounted the diff on the back end to using the threaded insert on the diff.

Keep it up..........Andy

Nice touch indeed! Did you trial fit the handbrake cables? Looks like it's going to be quite busy there above the diff nose.

Andy....that came from Ash when he was up here and I also drilled two extra mounting holes on the brackets where they face the handbrake ....put it this way that diff ain't going anywhere


Albert.....yep....got that to come to but it should not cause me any headaches as they are bending the right way to start with but yes it will be a "busy area"
