Rear chassis pics reqd

Can anyone post any pics of how ford granada running gear attaches to their Cobra.
I don't care whose make Cob it is, as i want to get our Viper modified post SVA to Granada Cosworth rear end (currently Cortina solid axle).
I have come across a complete rear end of a Granada, so i will only need to pay someone for their expertise and possibly buy a new prop.
Any suggestions as to someone in the north up to modifying our rear end?
This is going to be a long term project, but want an idea of cost / feasability before starting.
Cheers
Kevin

Hi Kevin

Some pics I had already taken some time ago, probably not the detail you want to see though, let me know:thumb: On a Sumo, uses a bespoke bracket at the front to mount up onto body (to the right in the 3rd pic)

Thanks Noel
Have you got any further away pics (to show the general idea of how it all fits together).
The pics you posted were very clear :thumb: .
Cheers
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Your pic helps, I can now see where to concentrate on the possible problem area, ie, the leading edge of the diff for one:thumb:

As for Bluetoon, I don't know whether to say "cheapskate" for not going for the galvanised option or "bloody impressive" paint finish on your chassis :thumb: :thumb:

Here is another view of what we are hoping to do away with.
Thanks again for your input.
