Carmad, a quick question if you don't mind. I see you have a magnum 1800 rear axle, I have for my viva a 1800 manta rear axle, Now I have literally sourced the axle and plonked it to the side of the garage, I see lots of people using the magnum / firenza rear ends but not so much on the manta front, are these axles massively different do you know?
cheers buddy
