Good job there mate, have you checked the body mounts all round yet?

I had to replace all 10 of them!

Hello John

I bought some 120x60x5mm box sextion and split it, I made 'L' shaped brackets and reinforced the sides of them, with a hole through on the drill press.

I was all faily straight forward just a Royal PITA
