well update time at last lol

im unsure if anyone has ever fitted a supra diff to a escos yet but man ineed about 4 pairs of hands, alls i can say what a bitch it was, had to buy sockets to grind down to fit the driveshaft adaptors, then mod the diff to fit the beam

so yesterday and today ive been fitting the beam, simple process usually but no

first was the mounting plates and with alloy beam mounts there wasnt any give so had to fit everything backwards but got it all fitted so the beam can be held in place

then this was the fun part, i had to drop the tank again and fit the diff mount first and use domed bolts at the front as std bolts hit the top plate, but it was a case of lining it up, so loosesly fitted it bolted fiff up and tightened the back bolts first, then had to grind down an allen key once diff was dropped again to do the front two bolts up, pull diff up and alighn the holes through the top of the tank while its dropped hanging lol, as well as fit the spacer plate between the mount and diff, alls i can say is never ever again am i doing this

but some pics
