Progress a bit slow at the moment.

To allow the rear prop a clear run, had to chop the rear axle tube into two parts and use extra saddles for support plus extra bits (weight) to the chassis.
As it was apart used some chassis black to cover up the my welds.

In bits

Replace seals and check the bearings and work out some way to lubricate the top bearings.
@brammie
can't help noticing that you placed the T-case in an upright position!
you know the oil won't come up to your upper barings this way?

Depends if you'll be bothered by some squeaking from the pads if they move into light contact with the discs, due to the vibration as you yomp across the scenery... :lol:
