Hello all,

Didn't realise that the position of the bracket was the reason of so many replies :o

unware of that, I didn't took a frontal picture yet, but this pictures to show my 'template' to be sure I will weld my new bracket right back on. (After fixing the initial corrosion caused oil leakage just below the famous bracket)

Right now I can safely cut off the LH bracket and being able to put a new one back on...

Hopefully tomorrow I can show you the cut-out part of the axle itself...
