Re: Torque settings

Yup my Astra G uses those too,the original ones on the 360 are squashed steel ones.I have an unlimited supply of high tensile stainless stuff.Having said that I wont be using stainless on anything load bearing,suspension/engine mounts/steering etc etc.

Refit the brass thing and attach your garden hose ...

Re: Diff/gearbox gasket

Get yourself a sheet of gasket paper and lay it or glue it to the face of your diff/Gbox (use a kids glue as you want to unstick it) Then with a ball hammer lightly tap around the edges of your diff/Gbox.This will be enough to cut through the paper and will fit perfectly. I have used cornflake boxes...
