Got a bit of work done over the last few days.

Made some new bearing mounts for the rover diff. I was going to use pillow block bearings but the mounts were too wide and would have fouled the diff so i made these at work.





Mocked up



All welded up and placed on the end of the diff to check that it wont foul





Now fully fitted to the diff 





All together with drive shafts and uprights, just making sure everything turns without catching.



Custom made uprights and brackets to take Saxo front calipers







The new rear lower engine mount






Front lower engine mount






And the front upper mount, still to be welded on.





Over the next week or so the engine mounts will be complete, the mounts for the diff will be welded in and the diff/shafts etc will all be painted and fitted.
