I frequently just weld in the side support plates which box in the =
current diff support.  You may find a small crack on the bottom of the =
right front mount which is common.  You can weld this up at the same =

good condition I see no reason to remove them and start from scratch.  I =

them to fit as each car is a tad different in shape.  Make sure you =
clean the existing surfaces and prepare them for a good weld.

Fellow Foters,

Who here has installed the differential reinforcement kit.  Mine is not =
broken loose yet but every little bit helps. My question is, can you =
keep the original welded in studs that are already there and just add =
the reinforcement plates, or is there some reason that requires the new =
studs (longer studs perhaps)?

Enquiring minds and all that...
          Nick in Nor Cal
