Yep good question, we discovered that GQ coil springs fit into the rear of a Paj so I reckon the GQ spacers should work as well.

1/ Trim the inside hole in the urethane larger.
The coils will often chew through the urethane over time.
2/ Wrap a piece of 19mmx5mm flat around the outside of the spring cup and cut out a large 3mm flat washer the size of your spring cup and weld it all on top to form a 22mm spacer.
3/ Cut the spring cup off the diff and weld it back on on a 19mm spacer,
then weld 3mm support plates between the outside of the cup and the diff tube.
4/ Cut a spacer out of a bit of wood.
I have done all of the first 3 and saw the last one done as a temporary fix on a 2 week safari
