Ginetta G20 Rear End Question
Discussion
My brother and i are proud owners in the US of sister Ginetta G20's
I just received mine this past summer, here is the link to our road trip bringing it over a thousand miles home . . .http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=128&t=699106
The prior owner had rear end trouble and replaced the 4.1 quaife diff with a 3.6 ford. I have had a shop rebuild the 4.1 i received and install it into the car. Because the diff would bump teh frame and twist they bolted it to the frame in 4 locations and now i cant even hear the beautiful note of the exhaust over the noise from the diff. I think it is mostly resonant frequency vibration from too much bolting of the pumpkin to the frame. Any chance you fellows have a photo of how the quaife is supposed to be attached to the car so i could emulate the strategy and begin loving the car?
Thanks in advance, i also posted a copy under Ginetta Racing sorry for the double post.

Steve, I just sent you about ten pictures. I would post them here, but it is a pain to go through photobucket...
There are thee bolted connections on the bottom half of the diff (two on the left side, one on the right), and one bolted connection on the top half of the diff. The bottom connections are all on a fabricated steel bracket that bolts to the frame with two large rubber washers for each bolt that holds the fabricated bracket on the frame. Maybe your mechanic ditched or lost the rubber spacers, I could see how that would make lots of noise in the car.
