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.

The new springs (inners and outers) fitted perfectly. They compressed about the same as the original ones i have fitted. I would highly recommend the company to anybody, just remember its a 4 week turn around from order date. I have post a link to the company a couple of post back on this thread.
so now the carrier has all its suspenion and wheels etc on, now time to start track bashing ! yuk - i feel some finger nipping comming up !!!!!
