Thanks for that.
I have made up some spacer blocks to get the ride height correct. I then made some tubes with a RH and LH thread in them and fitted rod end bearings to replace the shockies, This then allowed me to get the hubs to the correct height but still have the car raised off the floor to allow me to work easier. I have made up a shaft to simulate a drive shaft with a clearance fit at both sides. which will fit into the recess in the renault to ford drive shaft adaptor on the gearbox side. I have fitted another adaptor to the hub side in reverse which the machined shaft fits over. It has allowed me to get the gearbox set to the exact height so as to have the driveshafts perfectly straight when the car is at normal ride height. I have had to angle the engine down by 1 deg to allow the rear clip to clear the oil filler cap etc etc. Does this sound resonably?
Will try and post some pictures tommorow
