question looked at glyn lewis diff pans as there 6mm can the diff pans be cut off and re welded in y axle is on car still on car with axle off ground plenty of room to get in,

any advise please on what best pan to get and how i go about the fitting of it

thanks

Gwyn Lewis diff pan all the way. Saves using diff guards and will out last you.

i weld them in situ but remove diff first and pack tubes to keep them clean when grinding ,cheap britpart one is sufficient

If you are going to be using it off road then the gwyn lewis one will be ideal (and you don't need to buy diff guards), if just normal use then one from britpart etc will suffice
