Default So who has what to do for the Ring???

I've got mine up and running in the last 3 weeks, clocked up 1500 miles, had it mapped ( only 35psi tho' ), and broke a load more stuff on it. So i gotta;

1, fit my Bernie box
2, fit my diff
3, fit my new rad
4, fit my new oil cooler
5, fit my new driveshaft
6, fit a new petrol tank
7, find the wheel wobble/knock problem on the front
8, replace rear brake pads
9, oil and filter change
10, fit new clutch cable

Should keep me busy for a couple of nights

And my passenger thinks he's got a load to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!

done a few jobs.

scorpio diff doesn't need converting. i removed one of the output flanges, but couldn't replace it with one from the cossie diff, as they were different lengths. everything was more centred in the scorpio diff, so the short shaft was longer than the cossie one, but the long shaft was shorter

anyway, apart from the rim around the outside where the driveshaft bolt ups, the bolt pattern is the same so it should just bolt in. had to change the rear housing cover though of course, as it mounts to the beam and floor differently in a scorpio
