Newly reset springs sitting in hangers and diff sitting and awaiting correct mounting. . .
Rear spring hangers had to be made from new bar stock and fit perfectly. Dylan's been working his arse off to get the springs sprung and setting his hand to hand making the diff carriers. . .top effort from the apprentice. . .

Underdash power booster. . .
Due to the size of the motor and near proximity to the inner guards, it has been decided to mount the power booster and master cylinder under the dash where there is quite a huge space that is generally vacant. . .
Boing, boing. . .
Springs have finally been returned from Hendersons, luckily we are patient people. . .
Although the springs have been reset and shortened, I'm having trouble understanding how we can achieve full 'travel' with the current mounting position?

Strange happenings. . .

Quite an unusual place to find a brand new mega dollar diff, just laying on the ground under the car? Seems to me that the springs are missing, any ideas as to where the springs are Mr Hodges???
This is what happens when you have to out source work and rely and wait on the outside world and its own agenda. . .

Adding a Link. . .
Hi Guys,
I just wanted to add a link to Hodgey's blog so that everyone can get to see his other work.
Andrew works from his own shed along side his close friend and collaborator Dave, I could tell you his last name but then immigration might find him. Together, these two turn out some of the most amazing vehicles, four wheel and two( and soon three) to ever be seen on our roads. Andrew has had 14 vehicles in Street Machine alone and that's only the 4 wheelers.
Go to the link below for a meet and greet. . . top guys!

New diff's arrival. . . .
Borg Warner cut down to fit under the EH, sitting as is waiting for a paint job. . .
Limited slip centre with 28spline billet axels to take the torque of the VE motor. . .
Free advertising. . . AE Engineering from Geelong handcrafted the Borg Warner diff with 3:45 gears to match the requirements of the VE gearbox and computers. If the gears are any different then communication and speed sensors are incorrect. . .
