Looks like an axle strip down and weld on some new beefier jobs and some bracing. Is this not similar to martins problem?

It appears similar to Martin's problem and I believe from what Martin wrote in his blog that Rob Butler at Off Road Armoury had new brackets made up and has saved the CNC work on them to be able to get more made up.

I'd suggest a call to Rob Butler to see what he can do for you by way of sending you new brackets, then you need to get it to a good welder who can weld it on in the right place - maybe in a position that corrects castor if you need it.

I've managed to order some from him, just got to wait a week for them now. Many thanks !

On stripping in down last night I noticed the drivers side drive shaft splines seem slightly twisted is this standard or more money I'm going to have to spend?
