Adjustments made, double checked against diff drawings and draft rear wishbone dimensions. Diff bolts tack welded into position:

Wooden jigs got a bit hot. But stayed in place so now to put in triangulation to top/front tubes in the area. Alignment checked and differential offered up and fitted well.

Wood working

Differential bolts now hanging from vertical tubes to top rails and cross member tacked in which will become the rear top of the transmission tunnel:

Piece of wood marked "A" used to ensure both vertical tubes are same spacing on both sides of the frame. Pieces of wood marked "B" created by splitting one piece of wood to ensure both ends of the cross member are same height from bottom rail. Cross member alignment checked with spirit level.

Still working on the project (haven't posted recently due to forum issues). Had to grind out and reweld the oldest welds as early welds just not good enough. Also delayed due to issues outside my control (including COVID-19). But now back in workshop with the welding mask on! (also got 2 strong workshop lights picked up from pavement outside someone who was moving house).

don't give up - just have a rest occasionally.
