So you bolted the links to the rear end and then welded the pockets in? I don't have my diff yet, so I'm trying to get these geometrically as close as possible to something.
The assumption that I'm making is that these links are parallel, meaning the spacing on the differential is that same as the link pockets. The link mounts on the differential are 14.75" off centerline, or 29.5" center to center. I've been measuring off the rocker panel to set my left/right position. (EDIT: Don't use the driveshaft tunnel for centerline. It's not on centerline... should be off because of the pinion. That gave me a few seconds of panic) I think I am going to make a jig to align the bolt holes so that they are perfectly concentric.
I feel like they supplied more detailed measurements for the mini tubs.
