Al,

Thanks mate, appreciate the support!

Have already been talking to Steve a few times, always helpful.

Good learning experience for me to install both ends, even though you'll be taking it out again when you perform your magic.

Need the front hubs/brakes to make it a roller, will be in touch.

Any bay discs/hubs will bolt straight on - combined with some old bay wheels you'll have it rolling again in an hour ;)
Obviously not a permanent solution but will make it mobile again!

Well the rear end has been going in slowly, mocking up at this stage as I have no irs tranny and the poor old chassis rails seem to be somewhat out of shape.

Funny how "bolt in" doesn't always work out that way on 53 year old vehicles :shock:
