Looking at fitting a new diff in mine and need to make up some new mounting brackets, thinking this might be easier without the body on if I can.

Does anyone have a chassis under restore, not painted of course that I could slide new diff in and tack a couple of brackets on.

Of does anyone know of a completly goosed chassis that I can cut the back end out of.

Mine is a 1996 with a GKN diff.

I'm down in Kent and have my old rusty chassis off the car waiting for my new one to arrive in a few weeks, you're welcome to come down and have a play with it but we are quite a distance from you. I'm happy to let you come and take it away or the part of it you need but I want to get my new chassis along side it first so that I can transfer all the pipes over correctly. I don't know if that's any help?

There is a meet first and third Tuesday every month at the Griffins head Limby from 6pm on the cricket ground,over a hundred cars turn up twice a month so thats a nice evening,anything from Minis to Rolls Royce,Yank cars and plenty of TVR`s

The 500hp Tiger was at Thorsby park and few weeks back,the East mids TVR club have there own pitch there.
