got the same prob. Did you have any luck?

 

Funny your just asking now as am on getting it sorted.....nothing to worry about the diff guard it's just the brackets need making bigger.....am on getting mine made big enough to drop lower than I would as I've fitted the hawk diffuser........yes mate it's a easy fix if you can get the brackets made for you as my mate is doing mine at his work.....I will let you know how I get on as they should be done this wk ;0)

 

If its a good job and he wants to make more I may be interested

 

Yeh defo mate I will give you a shout once mine is on and we can work something out ;0)

 

did you get this sorted bud?

 

My mate nearly sliced his finger off at work so been waiting till he went back in......the brackets should be made this wk so I will give you shout once he's had a bash at them......bare with me mate and I will get back to you

 

ouch..... no worries

This is as far we have got mate.....the front bracket made to perfection but took ages and cut with a proper machine.....the back brackets a idea but not tried yet mate......hope this helps ;0)

 

looking good mate i'm a tad confused about the rear bracket though?

 

I needed to drop the height of the diff guard to make it visible as I've fitted a hawkeye diffuser so the rear bracket is a lowering idea....as is the front made longer.......the other thing to do for the back 1 is to cut it and weld abit on to make it longer for the distance it brings the guard off the diff......does that help?

 

Understood Think it would be possible for your friend to knock one up without extensions and post them? for a fee obviously.

 

Wot so you just want the front 1 making? As I was always dropping mine does the normal size in height still fit? These are made to drop it 50mm......wot brackets do you have if any?

 

I have no rear brackets at all and the longer bracket (the black one in your pic) is for the smaller diff and not the sti R180. So I just need brackets for standard fitment on the newage sti

 

The back brackets are a nightmare mate....the top part is wot you get with the guard and he couldnt bend and twist me bigger ones :0(

Your going to need something like that making mate....

 

oh bugger.

 

Tbh looking at it if you had a L shape bit of metal....then a single piece welded on a angle to its face then you could make that work IMO

 

How did/does yours look mate as I now have a Hawkeye diffusers on mine?

 

I still haven't fitted yet as am in doing some other work to the car but it will go on the next few months as my demo car comes together mate
