The diffs a 4.09 
but on the plus side I'm all sorted for picking up the series!
Got some ratchet straps, hooked up the sankey to put the spare gearboxes in
Anyway found a supplier of 3.54 axles but they're £200 to £300 for the complete set up (do come with the mega sized brakes though!) so I'm contemplating picking one up and having a play with it.
Going to plug some dimensions into CAD later and see what I can come up with

Pics are coming, done a little bit bolting the tub onto the outriggers but had to stop. Need to get some 2mm plate and make up some repair panels to rivet in. Too much corrosion on the mounts so it isn't strong enough.
Decided I'm going to get a handbrake lever from one of the discoveries being broken too as it'll make life easier then mount it to the top of the transfer box using a bit of folded plate
Prop angle is also 37* so as I'm not wanting to pay £600 for a prop I'll be making up a new axle

Still tax exempt, I've got 9 points remaining with the axle swap 90's don't have the same character anyway, not a huge fan
Chassis for five, steering for two and suspension for two

Last owner put them on, I've already broken two off just moving it about
Putting on some nice angled ones I'm making up, will look right and I kinda have to now seeing as the ****s drilled so many holes in the wings :doh: he obviously didn't measure up and had to drill twice for the rivets

As long as you use original mounts you're fine, as soon as you change them it's a re register job

chassis mods didnt you change an Xmember?? Lool depends how arsey the Vosa guy is that pulls you over. They're having a massive drive on anything modified, VW, LR, Classics ATM

Crossmember is technically a part for part swap, but how would my modified press brake one count? Or my roll cage mounts, it's a open subject really

Around our way they pull via look and not reg numbers they just see a modified thing and its in. A tidy 90 albeit on a series Reg usually flys by
