the snow is no place for survival ammeters

nar they'll fit well. with 30 inch tires they could rub on the back edge of the bumper or the back edge of the flairs.
depending on tire choice the tires might stick out a little as well.

but they won't rub on anything metal

other way,
the lower the car's front springs sit the MORE castor, and the better it handles

there is a carpark

i think its quite secure as last time i didn't even lock my sierra, or my mini the last time i took that.

and yes lots of soft top zooks turn up.

no one has mentioned cast iron. except Chris. cast steel is not as good to weld as you might think, it generally has lots of inclusions and porosity just under the surface. the best thing is to construct a bracket that encircles the housing and holds it, so that it's correctly held for the direction...

welding to anything CAST is fraught with problems, i doubt that you'll find any "expert" that will tackle the job without shit-loads of cash and NO guarantee of success.

i suggest that you find an alternative method of holding the diff down, like a well constructed "strap"
