Take hub nuts off the car before you drop the axle off, it's easier.

Unbolt the bolts that go through the beam mounts.
Then unlbolt the 4 bolts on the diff hanger

I put a load of stuff in to a company down Middlesbrough who where very good but they are very very slow.
It took 3-4 weeks to get my stuff back. Now after starting to put bits back together there's loads I've forgotten to put in.
The bracket on the pic is Zinc with Yellow passivate, I was after the same thing, I'll give him a ring and ask him,
Thanks Jeff

Wicked job your doing there mate, can i ask you a question/favour, You couldn't measure your new dust guards for me could you???? please
I've just bought a new pair NOS ones off ebay but i'm sure there smaller than my originals. Looking at one of your earlier pics, it looks like the disc sit out from the actual dust guard. Can you confirm this or have any other pics i could have a look at.
