Getting ready for Eurotour my S3 is now fitted with a stainless fuel tank, new gearbox mount, new diff mounts front and rear and balanced prop-shaft with new joints ;-)

Old gearbox mount was a little ripped and the diff mount had a crack ;-(

If anyone needs a, inside rust-free, steel tank with good sender or my "old" prop-shaft let me know.

Hi Han

Looks good. Did you go for one of the expensive Diff mounts or did you find a NOS.

I think someone is getting excited, I wonder who that could be ? smile

Better get that answer phone message sorted at work Liam and get in some serious testing, we don't want to be stopping to repair the tour leaders car again this year before we've even made it across the channel!

P.S. Drive it like you stole it, I would just don't tell Tim...
