Default Whats Going On with My Rear Diff

I'm replacing all the bushes in my 92 RA with nylon ones, when I came to do the rear diff support ones I found the bushes were to small. So I splashed out on a fancy item from Beatrush but that does not fit, the studs seem to short and the bushes are not attached to the diff cover. My diff set up looks nothing like whats in the picture that comes with the bracket.

Do I need a different diff hanger and longer studs?

Whats shown, if I offer it up the studs don't come through and there is no rubber bush were it's shown here.




My rear diff


Bracket off my car with bush thats to small.

RA subframes are different mate, much like newage ones although I don't know if the dimensions are the same. I have a classic and newage with the Beatrush braces and I think the Newage is what you need, although you would have to check dimensions.

You would do better to purchase one of these, again double checking dimensions.



Summit Racing do one in the UK.

How much for the brace, I may know someone.

Cool, Pm sent. Dead unlucky on the fitment, at least it's because your car is mechanically special rather than just being a PITA.

Yep plan B needed now, had a look at the GT Racing one but could only find one for 300 quid. I may try and make my own, can't be that hard.
