The brackets have actually come away from the axle where they were welded and taken part of the axle with them.
Having looked at Bill's his has strengthening fillets as mine didnt, but it will have now.


Wow, they look pretty substantial I thought! You got any pictures? Might take the opportunity to add some bracing to mine whilst it's on the garage floor!

Sorry to hear it cut your rallye short, at least you got the stellas in!

Kev, when I built Bill's car we cut off those brackets when we got the kit and re-angled them so the diff-nose pointed down slightly. My mech said it would be better as under load it would go level. The original was facing up at rest and raised further under load straining the propshart joint. And he probobly did the bracing as well. he was quite good.

Finally got my videos edited into one montage: http://youtu.be/5sKHeMxDmO8

This was my first outing with my new GoPro HD. External microphone is now on order, so hopefully next time the sound will be improved.

Enjoy!

Rather than continue to hijack this thread with more questions about live axle furys I put a question up here about strengthening the furys axle if anyone has any advice!?
