hilux diff in a narrow track

I want to hybredise my Hilux into a Zuk Narrow track chassis I am buying off droopy pete..
I want to use my hilux springs and diffs and run em as is (maybe weld em up)

the rear is no probs I can inboard the spring pads on the diff a bit .. the front . I can make a new front crossmember that takes the additional spring width and spacing into account (maybe even do a shackle reversal) but what about the back of the front spring mount ..

Does anyone have pics or a chassis diagram I can take a look at to try to get my head around this ??


Better still has anyone done it before .. and willing to share info ?

i know hypolux had to do this when he put the gq diffs under his hilux.
can't find any pics. basically from what is can remember, he welded a plate out from the chassis at the bottom, then braced it on the sidewalls of the rails.
