Getting there with the diff. Pinion depth did need adjusting in the end, both diffs originally had a ~3,5mm shim, I think the depth isn't right due to the pinion bearing differences , the inner race appears ~0.3mm larger on the new bearing. I've made up a dummy bearing and shimmed the pinion to 3.2mm, it's not looking too bad - coast side looks good, drive side I'm not entirely happy with, not sure if I should try a touch more pinion depth or a bit more backlash, will have to experiment. I think possibly a touch more backlash might help (at about 0.07mm at the mo). I'm no diff rebuilding expert so happy to take advice if anyone is. Nearly there!
