Maybe the std bush re-inforced with poly for £50 that is 100% same size might fit better, no exterior size difference at all, just has the voids filled with poly so you know everything fits perfect.

Just fitted mine tonight, diff now appears to be welded to the floor rather than flopping about.

Also fitted a Bayjoo track spec spring kit from R&B, difference in handling is unreal. Well impressed.

If you had done the diff mount on it's own, you'd see this makes so much difference stops 99.9% of the rear steer action on bump and rebound.

I can get these done no probs, matey in Iceland has one on his 3 door 1/4 mile car, these fit with the 22mm arb and a tow bar with the large "U" shaped bracket these use, as mine has all this, as the std bolt heads are recessed quite a bit there are zero clearance issues with any size of arb, it's also very appealing for the bufties as it looks std, it's filled with black poly, or other colours if you want.

That diff can't be in use, it's far too clean.

To paint it it needs to be claen in the first place........I rely on my diff to rustproof the rear of my car.

Hope you haven't paid more than £60 for your tank, i've recently had one delivered for that.
