My father and I managed to get the diff fitted and in place after a little bit of a struggle. It's pretty heavy! We managed using a bit of rope and between us we managed to get some long threaded rod in the rear mount to help pull it into it's final place. I will remove each bolt again and put threadlock on them. I can mount the driveshafts now.
I have also had a rethink regarding the right rear brake pipe route. I have realised that the handbrake cable cannot be removed without undoing the rear brake pipes. If for any reason that this needs replaced in the future it could be a bit of hassle to replace.
I will therefore alter the right rear so it can be removed easily. This can hopefully be done tomorrow.
I have tapped out the p clip mount holes to hold the brake pipe in M5. This seems to work well. I just need to spray in some cavity wax prior to final fitment.
I have also loosely fitted the steering rack, but I will have to set my bump steer, but I will do this once I have set the front camber.
