I realised there was an easy route of my problem with making new mounts for the IRS-diff.
The explorer has a low profile with integrated mounts!:smoke: (pictured to the right)

Now, the problem is that I live in Sweden, Europe.
Is there a place on-line where I can buy these on-line and get a cheap (USPS, not DHL or UPS) alternative to ship it?

try the local dealer they might be able to get 1.

Is it something you need right away or can you wait a few months?

No, I'm not in a rush. It could wait another couple of months.

But I just realised that I might not be able to use it since my third suspension link might be in the way for one of the mounts. :rolleyes:

I'll have to think about it a little more...

If you're planning on doing IRS, won't you be getting rid of the 3 link?

I didn't say I was doing a IRS, I just needed a IRS diff. ;)

It's actually a dedion-suspension.

I'm headed stateside for Christmas (4 months from today), but my wife may be headed back in November. If you decide to go this route and the US is the only place to get it and you can wait that long, let me know. I don't know what shipping from Switzerland would be but I'm sure it would be better than from the US.

Nice! I haven't seen that one done in a while. Can't wait for progress pics. :)

By the time I'm writing this, you probably have a couple of dozens of PM in your inbox from other Europeans asking for help with importing stuff.:rotfl:

Anyway, thank you so much for that offer. It's very nice of you!
I'll have to think it over one more time since I'm unsure if I really can use it.
If I can, I'll send you a PM within the next couple of weeks.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

I haven't really started on the dedion yet. Still fixing rust and doing mods to the shell. Here's the build thread though:
