Default 4wd saph driveshaft/engine mount issues

hi all. going on from my conversion thread i am now thinking about poss strengthening my 4wd drivetrain. i have done 2 o/s engine mounts and 5 o/s driveshafts! noticed the gearbox mount has gone now too! i have just bought some collins mounts which were rather expensive but hopefully up to the job. any advice on this matter part wise/uprated parts would be much appreciated as im spending a fortune on breaking parts!! cheers guys

i didnt think the offside shaft could just pull out as it has a large clip inside the diff holding it in?
