Now the back axle has been stripped , repaired and assembled. The Pinion bearings were in a very poor state so they have been replaced, the diff had a wash and inspection and its not in a bad shape. Managed to get the bearings next day so now its all back together and fitted. i had to get the gear box adaptor plate made ( i have one somewhere in a safe place along with the splinned conector but do you think i can find it !!! Bl**dy disapearing carrier parts ! ) Managed to get a new one from Dirk (very good speedy service). - then new brake linings, new hub bearings and seals and all of a sudden the axle is fitted --See photos.
