I'm now thinking of using Grade 8 threaded studs in the diff. This may make locating the diff into the bolting plate easier. And, as I've moved the entire IRS back 3/4", it will eliminate the clearance problem I have with getting the two top forward positioned bolts into their holes.

Moving the IRS 3/4" rearward will also require custom (3/4" longer) length shock shafts/bolts. And I'm hoping that Stainless Steel would be a good option for the shafts. Trouble is, I do not know what grade steel was used on the original shafts.

Thanks for your info.

Arthur
