LSD now in place

I was on my own and so it was a bit of a struggle to get the diff back inside the frame and sitting in the right place. The MC jack helped a lot, that, two hands and a foot. Bolted it down with the strengthened front bracket and two rear mounting bolts. Then it was time to attach the two output shafts to the diff and torque up the M8 torx bolts. Then the propeller shaft bolted on with 4 M10 bolts. 

Because I replaced the rear nearside wheel bearing I also had to put back the hub assembly, inserting the output shaft through the hub and tightening the hub nut to drag it through as far as possible before tightening the mounting bolts. Once that was done I could put the disc back on and then the brake caliper.

I'll drive it for a few km's and then tighten up the hub nut as well as shafts bolts, diff bolts etc.

Here's the limited slip diff bolted in place. There are a few cables to clean up and then the rear cover can be put back. There's no fuse that cuts voltage to the fuel pump so I'm thinking of adding a cut-off so it's easy to work on the engine and check compression etc. without having to remove the rear carpet, rear panel etc. to unplug the leads to the pump.

Update: I added rivnuts to the rear panel as well as the one covering the tank. Quite a nice solution although I overdid it with the number of them but that was because I originally over did it with the rivets!

Boot carpet will cover it all anyway.

A little cold at -1 but anyway took the car out for a quick spin around the block to warm her up and check the diff and installation. No chance to put the diff through it's paces, that'll have to wait for dry and above +5. Great to get the little car out before the snow comes.  Hopefully the weekend will be nice enough for a drive to Rosenhill. Maybe I need to put the winter tyres on beforehand though.
