Engine/Gearbox Mounts.

The bolt through the middle is a good solution, however off-roading seems to bend most things.

The right hand items is from the front diff, left-hand item is a solution(half-done).

@AZL.
Was careful to just tighten the nut/bolt enough.

Here's the "twisted" bracket it was mounted on.

The plan is coming together?.

The stumpy differential (gearbox) used at the front now becomes the rear diff.

Revised mounts at both ends and have trimmed off and improved the front and rear plates.

Also hopefully cured the oil weep by the drive flange.

ps Thanks to Joolz for the idea of using Transit Shock bushes.

Rear Suspension.

To stop the excessive "ROLL", going to fit coil overs struts to the rear suspension, same as the front suspension.

I plan to make a frame, that bolts to the chassis, with holes (Gaps) in the rear floor.
The frame will be mounted after the body has been fitted to the chassis.

Lot of measuring and try outs photo's show one side of the rear setup.

Don't think a standard rear seat will fit even with the struts canted to the rear.

Rear Suspension.
Have pretty much got the spacings for the Rear Springs and also the static ride height figured out. :)

Need to weld up the lower springs mount on the struts.

The frame is just bolted to the chassis.

Progress seems to be happening as I have now started to paint stuff, ran out of the other colours
so used some Myford green.

Rear Strut almost complete.
