Looks like an accumulator bulb for building up hydraulic pressure to me, so that the pressure can be used on the TXB or Diffs.

If you mean the bit on the left then thats the engine mount. The bit on the right is the turbo oil return pipe with silver heat wrapping.

Just got back from there... LOTS of hours going into it, so sorry Mike looks like you're going to be out of luck.

The four studs, are small screws which hold Tommy's FMS plates on.

Gus, all is going to plan, suspension is back on and sorted, as is the box, diffs etc. They work magic down there... and at warp speed too!

They've still probably got time to get yours ready too... well, maybe not! LOL
