|  My Fix for broken rear upper link mount bolts (Maybe)
It's crude in it's current state, but it might help or maybe not will see. I need to put a lock nut on each side of the STRC aluminum mount to reduce forward and backward movement of the mount.

Until the release of v2, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

Good job on ingenuity, that could work, a spacer tube between upper link mount and your bracket would help increase rigidity. That looks like a front upper link mount on the rear or did you drill and tap the hole? Angle of front upper link mount is more vertical than the rear mount that lays back more iirc.   |

Meh, if it works roll with it for now at least. It will tilt the pinion up slightly which it needs anyways. |

It does put pinon at a nice angle. I'm brilliant, I meant to do it!

Great job thinking outside the box, run it! Aaaand report back, in the meantime you could order another one to do the front too!  |

if only somebody would incorporate that extra hole at 12 o' clock into the diff cover.... hmmmm.... ;) *COUGH SSD COUGH COUGH* *even a slim "sandwich plate adapter" that would act almost like a gasket BETWEEN the current "anybrand" diff cover would be nice! |

SSD, please? That would be great! Front and rear sets. Wish I had a mill to start on a solid hunk of aluminum...hmmm. |
