I made up a couple of 1/4 inch tubes for the oiling system for the pinon bearings.

Finish off all the welding on the rear end of the frame and clean up for paint.

Well the diff housing is bent just a bit from all that welding, as you can see that aluminum plug should slide in without any interference. I can get them to fit but the 30mm rod is very hard to spin. So i found out the hard way, the right side of the axel when bolt down in the housing was fine and could spin the rod and i tried the left side no go it would bind and would not spin at all. So lessons learnt. I don't have oxy acetylene so tried LPG touch that was useless. I know a local engineering place not to far from me who can help me out, but because of our stupid government of victoria we are still in lock down. So nothing i can do at the moment.
