Diff is LSD.

Rear discs should be vented (albeit 5 stud) Which is a pair of good calipers.

Should have a rear roll bar.

Keep the Master Cylinder/servo & valve block.

Try to get the ABS wires out of the hubs - can be worth a few quid, in fact keep the whole loom.

???Electric sunroof should be worth keeping all the gubbings for selling on.

Keep the clocks for the rev counter - if you use it or not - can be sold to thjose who will use it.

Everything I don't use will be sold anyway, it has no diff and the rear beam is setup for a jag diff,

Are the hubs any different to a saff cossie other that the 5 stud stub axels

I'm hoping that the saff cossie shell I'm picking up will still have the power ass braking so I can use that as well as the loom

I just need to clear some bits to pay for some stuff for the saff

Not sure what I'm doing with the hubs as of yet, but I did offer them to Brammer months ago as I'm after a set of 2wd cossie hubs

Cool that sounds like a plan and if anyone can let me know if I can just transfer over the front flanges as in are the bearings the same or do the granadas run a bearing with a carbon abs ring
