Aye its a canny car that golf, Sean spent alot of time and money on it. Was it cold on the drive home & did you have to adjust the seat from 'midget' setting

PT

iTrader: (9)

Surely andy can sort you a diff mount mark,

or as beef said solid mount it and make your own but reinforce the floor or it may tear itself out,

looking good though mate, very jealous of your engine/transmission I'd love that set up

paul16v

What about a rear cover like the one in this pic I found on google

http://www.osenworks.no/2008/reardiff.jpg

Im sure ive seen one for a 9" diff.

RUSSELLB1904

Are you not going down the carbon route then for some panels to save more weight, like doors, tailgate, bonnet etc? or is it just a case of less money to spend atm? certainly looks like a weapon atm and looking forward to seeing it at york soon.....

iTrader: (6)

nahh blacky ,


just weld a peice of 1ftx1ft by 10mm thick steel plate to the underside of the boot floor , then a peice of 3mm plate bent into an angle , two holes onto the mount of the diff ,then weld to above 10 mm plate

The angle would have to be spot on, its all about the angle
