the biggest spacer should be bought and then ground down to perfect size by the mechanic.

Thanks for the info so far chaps.

I've still heard nothing from Stocky though !!!

One of the breakers E-mailed me today to say they could help me out but I've been outside laying a patio (never again) so will have to ring them Monday.

Might not be a diff though as I've requested an ECU also (another project).

I'll probably give www.gearboxman.co.uk a go as from what I've gathered the gearbox mechanics in Hull are sh*te.

[QUOTE=Paper Lawyer,Apr 14 2007, 06:57 AM] I took the extra precaution after reading comments that the Kia Sportage (from which the final drive is taken) only produces 170bhp (although it may have a torquier engine) and so there was a little question mark over whether the final drive was engineered for a more powerful car.

I'll probably not fit mine until late July as we are touring France , Switzerland and Italy early July in the 'S' so I think its best to install it when we return.

I'm trying to get all the bits together now though so it'll be ready to install late July.
