Hi mate have you been trying to contact me ?
I can help with conversational help but i cant make any physical at the moment, really busy with work and some property, hence why i havent touched my own car for a month

i wouldn tuse quaife products anymore, they used to be good, and the diff mount is no heavier than the group a alloy item, only lighter in the pocket once you have bought one !
