am moving my front diff forward 22mm, a figure arrived at by shock
angles, amount of spare metal on plates and hangers for drilling, and
no need to reposition shocks or anything else. hoping will not need a
tailshaft spacer, dont think so, nobody else has had a prob (that I
know of) It was either this or bumpstop extensions, or bash more
firewall, neither was first choice.
probly need to trim headlight bucket, but thats no issue, christover

going to space shockers out a little, they touch bumpstop on full
compression. going to put a spacer in front tailshaft as it looks
dodgy with spline showing..will need to trim the headlight bucket a
bit, too. but all firewall issues are fixed and now have full travel
back... :lol:

I hope this means you will stop blaming the car and start accepting the blame yourself when you next put it on it's side. :D

shox were easy to solve, a rubber spacer and a sleeve inside shock
rubber, moved them back 5-6mm, closer to original pozzy, with nut
right to end of spare thread... then attacked the edge of the bump
stop with a file. all is good.
head light bucket solved by hack sawing out offending metal, and
replacing with rubber sheet, bit of tar paint, looks untouched
(unlike me). other side bucket can wait, till I see if this side
werks right. christover
