Thanks guys, I am in Hertfordshire. I have a new set of adjustable cab mounts arriving shortly so I am hoping to re aquaint the chassis and cab at the weekend. Then the fun begins as I start dismantling the Jag!

I have reunited the cab with the chassis but just resting on blocks of wood for now.
I cut off a couple of the rivets holding the rear spring perch to the chassis, expecting to simply punch them out.... but found they still do not move, I couldnt find my drill, so i had to return to this great forum to find out how the springs are removed, the pins were driven out easily and rear axle was removed.
So now I have the Jag axle roughly in the position it needs to be. If it is fixed here it gives at least an inch of lift, so I am now considering how to modify the frame to give at least the original ride height, but I would prefer an inch or two drop.
All ideas welcome!
I have wrestled the rear axle from the Jaguar, and

What plans do you have for yours? I wanted a '53 as i prefer the cleaner front end look, but settled for the '54

In reality the angle of the pinion should match the angle of the engine and transmission to keep the system balanced at normal ride height.
