The side bearings on the spicer axle are shimmed, ie the ones on the diff carrier through which the halfshafts go. To assemble the axle properly you'll see there are two circular lugs cast into the banjo housing. A whacking great big split steel ring engages in these. This ring has a bolt on it. This physically expands the cast banjo housing to set he preload on the bearing shims.


I agree with Jim, the tranny tunnul is structually critical, I've driven a PV with a flimsy tunnel held in with a few self tappers and it drove with all the structural integrity of a wet sock. On the other hand I've welded the tunnel out of a P1800 into one, and the car was fine afterwards.

Regards


Pete
