Yeah thats so funny.....
It would help if i could understand what your trying to say?? :? :?


Steve has had a locally-fabricated facsimile of this:

...which is a brace which reinforces the diff to reduce axle tramp and improve diff location. The original is made in Japan by a company called Beatrush (not "bushrush" :) ) and the original has poly bushes to isolate diff NVH from being transmitted to the chassis, however Steve's locally-fabbed version has solid mounts, a state of affairs which he considers hardcore and which causes him to laugh out loud.

Noise, Vibration, Harshness stan :wink: ........means with no bushing between the diff & that brace, steve gets to enjoy every little noise that driveline has to offer reverberating thru the cabin, he has no need of a stereo, he wouldn't hear the bastard anyway :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:
