No bump stop here and yes the bolts are to long
Massive difference on track with the poly diff mount

I'm sure I read that there is a variation with the depth of the threads on the diff plate from car to car,

Exactly correct mate, for some reason the threaded bolt holes are not all exactly the same depth... typical 80s Ford sadly.

Surely it would have been easier and quicker to make all wholes the same in terms of production line and even costs- like they done with the rest of the car??
