you're right...I should have; just didn't think, at the time 
Looks really good what you've achieved.I urge you to look at the seat & seatbelt mounting points.I'm no expert & insisted on some metal bracketry on mine, the std big washer & bolt thru fibreglass gives me a cold shudder just thinking about the implications. Especially as I use the Griff on track from time to time.

Good job!
What's uprated about the droplinks? They don't look far off std to me?
These are really really good as they're spherical & shrouded.

Now your diff cover looks cool you'll also have to paint the housing, if you haven't already. Over 8 years ago I used a wire brush in a drill on mine and then painted it with good old Hammerite. 8 years on I'm pleased to report all the paint is still intact, and before anyone asks yes I did paint the other half of the diff. 
While you're doing the front oil seal I guess you are also replacing the output oil seals as they are also prone to leaking and are the easy ones to change.
How do I remove/refit the output seals, Steve? I've already caused myself a problem, by not indexing the pinion nut!While you're doing the front oil seal I guess you are also replacing the output oil seals as they are also prone to leaking and are the easy ones to change.

Manic, sorry missed these last few posts but currently doing the same thing. I am also using the Maserati manual. Haven't started rebuilding yet but bought all bearings, oil seals, will makes gasket and as I said in you other thread I have also had 2mm spacers made up. I don't know if the following helps, I have the benefit of a blast cabinet and I do my own powder coating in a domestic oven from fleabay.
I did his to help me identify what I need:

I also had problems with these little tinkers.
I wanted to replace but couldn't find new with spigots so I have bought ordinary circlips and will have to modify pliers unless you find a source....? I have lots of photos and measurements of bearings and seals if that helps and you want to mail me. Pete

Royce Power Transmissions, Harlow. Tel: 01279 421461. I spoke to a bloke called Bob, very helpful and seemed to know what he was talking about. I paid £128.46 for all bearings and seals but excluding the circlips and the gasket. If you mail me I will scan you the invoice and send it to you. Pete
Thanks Pete...However, I've decided to have my diff and lt77s box rebuilt by Peter Reid...Two less headaches.!!
