    Tony and I emailed and spoke on the phone, still doesn't fit.
    He said the spacing is a compromise between the cast iron diff and the aluminum diff.
    He didn't know the center to center spacing. He suggested grinding the tips of the bolts down and then driving them in.
    Don't think I'll do it this way.
    What I got for the front frame mounts ctr to ctr was 12 3/4", the diff front hole ctr to ctr spacing is 12 15/16".
    At this point I have the diff unbolted with the urethane(?) bushings pulled out.
    I'm going to grind some of the OD off the bushings on one side, this will allow the bushings to spread a little further apart. This should let me get the bolts in.
    Will let you know how it works tomorrow.
