Thank you Wolvie. I will fit the other two shims to the differential and give it a try.

Piccy of a 40mm fan mount I made for mine. 40mm is probably overkill so printed a 30mm mount too - but had this fan spare and it 'just' fits - so why not

my guess is you dont have the steel washer on and you have an alloy one, the only way the captive joints bind is the wrong washer or ill fitting one

It's definitely the right washer but to be fair the binding is happening below the length of a shock length so it's no real issue if that makes sense

ah ok if your going past the pivot point of the ball that will explain it, it will free up a little during use too

The two shims either side of the differential worked and took out the excess play, all good. I must admit I did not see the message on the bag as I was to eager to open the packet and complete the transmission.
The build of the car has gone really well but I have had two components where the screws did not show any resistance when being tightened into the plastic and once the screw had reached its limit the screw would just turn. I am really careful not to overstress any component by overtightening but on these two parts the screw would turn quite freely without applying any pressure on the hex driver. Has anyone else had any similar issues?

The two parts I had issues with where U7636 which is a small plate which sits behind the rear of the transmission. The one turnbuckle ball joint just would not secure and the other part was U7046 which is just a battery post. Apart from this the build was excellent. Just installing the electrics now

Just a quick question. How much of the body shell do you remove to clear the slipper clutch spring? The cut lines on the shell look different to what the manual is instructing. If anyone has a pic of there body shell I can use for guidance that would be appreciated.

the body as of yet does not have cut lines for the ld, its the same body as the kc
personally i have cut nothing for the dlipper area and have zero rub marks, the body is one and off with velcro so slipper on mine is set then body fitted.

Thanks for the pictures and the advice regarding the body shell. I was getting a bit confused with the cut lines not in sync with the manual.
One last question, what gear ratio would you recommend using a 8.5t motor and the kit spur gear? I currently have a 22t pinion fitted.

I have just noticed that the diff height eccentric bearing housing in my car is actually moving up and down and left too right in the gearbox on my car. Only on one side but there is movement. I checked all my gearbox bolts were tight and there was nothing in terms of excess mould material causing it and there isn't. I am concerned because movement there means the mesh between the diff and the idler won't be true and consistent. Anyone experienced this ?

I have done so. I am not referring to movement there. The issue is the diff bearing housing that is used to adjust the diff height is not a tight fit in the gearbox. It looks like a moulding issue.

try it with the other eccentrics to see if you have the same problem. might give you some idea to which part is not right
