I'm not talking about a tie plate between the two shafts as vizable in Liams pics but a full plate under the diff tieing those two brackets together.
I recently supplied a mate with a spare inner pivot bracket as he bent his when he had an "off" and hit the armco.
What was surprising was that even tho he had used locktite, and the bolts were safety wired when he originally installed his diff , his bolts were all loose after the off.
His original installation used the tie plate between the pivot shafts like Liams but not a plate tieing the brackets together.
He has now made a full tie plate

I havnt yet installed it, but there is a plate to go on the underside also. I am waiting to get the allignment checked before drilling the holes and bolting it on. The ends of the fulcrum shafts on the RCM also bolt through a thick plate in the chassis so there is no way it could come apart.
