after fixing the two bits I cut out, I got the trapeze section welded up

In another thread, I said make sure you slap grease behind your strut mounts. Here’s why…

@KISSMYAURA you were after some HD terrafirma shocks weren’t you?! 😉

…

A bloody fiddly job. Angles, twists and tiny pieces. You can see that the crossmember is supposed to be sandwiched between inner and outer skin. I wonder how many actually do this as you have to chop off a bit more than you’d want to. My pencil is pointing to crossmember piece. Little gap too...

Got couple hours in. A welding story board. Bit of tweaking and messing about but I’m happy. Z piece ready to be melted on now.

That’s interesting. I was so snobby that it was gkn or nothing for me and I only drive across fields.

Those HD CVs are seriously expensive too. I agree with the above - I reckon if you hadve had cheap members they would’ve cheesed up first. Do you decide where the weakest link is to be and make it the cheapest part lol? Like you said, go HD with the shafts and it could just end up smashing diff...

Thank you sir 👍🏻

Pad had a male bit, support beam has female. Pad pushes in like a grommet 👍🏻

…

One pad on each stool (for want of a better word?!)

I’ve got that bar ripped out at the moment with the pads underneath - I’ll put a picture up tomorrow. They push fit to the underside of the box beam

Those HD drive members must be good too! You would’ve thought that would’ve gone before the shaft

You were abusing that thing weren’t you 😂😂😂 How the fcuk have you managed that. They OE shafts?!

Oh and 2 on light boxes!

It’s a rubber pad for your boot floor I think but if you zoom out I can tell 👍🏻 Body mounts are 2x in engine bay, 2 x front sill, 2 rear sill, 2 rear crossmember

Test fit

Just shout if unsure mate. No pro but I’ve gutted one before and got mine in bits now. I’ll update the thread with the bits that need ticking off so it helps others also 👍🏻
