Differential updates.....

Made custom brackets to ally the use of a Jaguar 4HU differential in a 289 transverse leaf type A-frame. We had made the brackets using a diffy jig set up from a Shelby differential. This means correct alignment.

Test/dry fit went well and it looks to work. The benefit is that you can use a Salisbury diff made by Jaguar in a 289 chassis = more affordable direction without sacrificing original type hardware!

Benefits:
1) Jaguar diffy with Thornton posi easy to find in good working order <$1000
2) Parts are plentiful for Jag diff
3) Saves about $3000 = Win Win

Trying to post pictures.
