Funny old day, had to go back to work :furious:
Don't know how you guys are doing down there but Wales is just lifting lockdown :(
Consequently didn't get much done on the Trol but did start attacking my Y61 back axle.
I bought GU Y61 axles years ago for the 4.6 diffs, then stored them under plastic covers. Seemed like a good idea at the time but the plastic let the rain in and not out, causing some spectacular Titanic style rust :frown:
It was that bad I was able to rip off the top arm mounts with my bare hands and didn't even take a pic Bang Head
Here's the first pic I took when I realised

Maybe just maybe I'll get away with it after all ? Here's a section with the top arm mounts removed and a bit of 40 grit flap disc action. Could do with 4 grit really ;)

Sand blasting next week so gotta get this prepped a bit more before then.
Lockdown in Wales is lifting, did I mention that :oops:
Diff lock actuator thingy
I have a snag regarding the diff lock actuator thingy. Mine is goosed :confused:
I'm also fitting diff case protection as below. Do you guys know of any alternative gizmos that will do the job ? Especially one I can incorporate into this casing ?
