so went down to see mark @ mk today to collect the cradel ,

hubs wernt ready as there in the last phase on the cnc , not to worry , mark said sould be all sorted midweek and in the post by next weekend ,


took my lil bro darren aka frank the tank with me was nice to have someone for the 5 hr journey

however on the way back he wasnt much use lol





flat out asleep lol

anyway , got the cradel home so thought is post a few piccys







a rather cool touch i thought , removeable top brace



goes between here



like so



allows easier fitting and removal off the diff , meaning the cradel dosent have to be dropped to remove

some nice tig welded bracketry




will be taking it over carls tomorrow to start with the fitting ,
