can always remove the tailshaft and neatly notch and weld your chassis crossmember. if your having issues with the rear you may have to take a close look at the front also incase you have to notch the gearbox crossmember also

thanks guys to all the suggestions got it all solved. i got a damaged tail shaft out of a 4.2TD knocked the flange of the end, fitted new uni's, and put it all back together. Then i was able to turn the shaft around.
