yeah. thats 2 that have cracked in the same place. its because the back mount is only on the gearbox with the 2 bolts not 3. will be making it a 3 bolt mount for sure now.

gotta go pick up the other diff and bits and pieves from my old box from jdm later and take the bearings down to the bearing shop and get them made up. rebuild my old box, alloy weld the casing and re fit it.

well been off nice and early to the 2 gearbox and bearing places in carlisle to get some diff bearings for f28 as going to rebuild my box and have the casing on mine welded ready to swap. smaller diff bering in stock. larger on is a special order item. theyre ringing me back about it if they can get one will be here tomorrow which is nice. but apparantly its nearly impossible to get the larger one.

well had a call back from cbt in carlisle which is the bearing place. the larger sized diff bearing is on back order for 2-4 months. lovely. noe just await a call back from eriks and see what they can do. might end up having no new diff bearings to go in. might change the smaller one i guess.
