Richard Pope Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Basically you make the rear diff bridge a box section and make boxes to support diff mounting bolts. You also weld the diff bolts at the top. Up front you weld on extra support plates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Pope Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 20 hours ago, stuart said: Actually it is moreor less the same as mine. My rear end is the same and I already had those front supports added at the factory - October 73 car. The 'How to Restore a TR6' book says that there was a factory mod at some time. You seem to not have the extra straps up front suggested by the same book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ctc77965o Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 when you box in the diff mounts make sure to drill drain holes and rust proof inside Quote Link to post Share on other sites
