Is it worth too after the master and slave swap a drop of the gearbox oil? See if its nice and clean no swarf just incase?.
Again no knowledge of dog boxes...any specific oil required for them?

Clive is it worth having a bracket around the diff which is fixed on via the screws for the diff cover, and use longer screws to compensate for the thicker material around the diff?

Doing that along with the bracing you have will stop the diff moving or twisting as I would imagine your diff brace has broken due to the twisting/torque of the diff?

Thanks Grant but the cars now sorted. We took a slightly backward step and Steve  fabricated half of the old PPF so it bolts rigid directly onto the chassis and up into the tunnel so I cant see there being any more issues.

I also finaly sorted the clutch issue that plauged me at Mallory.
For Mondays race the Track Attack sticker has been "modified"!   
All the best Clive

I do think a sticker like the T shift would look rather good with the series mentioned

Watched the TSL timing for qualification and it was fine until 6 minutes to go in the session, then  it froze. Clive was 19th fastest at that point. No published data on TSL, so no idea of the grid positions for first race.

TSL now working and live stream OK too.
