Fitting Torque Arm and Lower Control Arms with Reloacatrion brackets.

Found, a video of setting up the pinion angle on a 4th gen.
Shame they keep bursting out loud heavy metal music, but you can get the idea with it on mute.

Nice cut with the dremel. Done both sides.
All coming together well. I will get more photos once complete.

Looking good :)
 
What did you cut and why?

This relocation bracket is the same width as the hand brake cable holder. Goes around the mounting on the axle.
These brackets are the same as the 3rd gen too.
As this cable hanger is the same width then it either needs to be bent or cut.

Bit hard to make out from the photos in their instructions. But I ended up with the same shaped bit I cut off.
 
Still no axle bolts(torque arm to diff, M14x200mm) yet, the short ones would be nice to be a couple of threads longer. I'll bolt them up as they are. Lower the car and turn the car around. Nose in first ready to work on the k-member swap. I can always jack up the rear later to pop in the new bolts when they arrive.
 
M14x200 bolts have arrived for the rear end. Only need 2. The other 8 may come in useful one day.

I'll get these fitted once the front end is back together.
 
Longer bolts added at the rear. Used my grease pump on the lca nipples too.

Removable locktite. Isn't it odd why it tastes soo sweet.
Yes enjoying the pit, makes things soo easy. Done the front suspention with it jacked up too as needed to take the load off the suspention. It's great for oil changing and inspecting things. Also will be useful when I underseal the lot.
