Location: Brisbane,qld		Was checking out th AWD boxes, by any chance would the four speed Endeavor box be a better box to use, looking at the tranfer case differences, looks like the Endeavours output shaft is higher on the gearbox than the magnas, maybe to clear the rack.Goin off the endeavor pics looks like the tail shafts sit pretty high in the tunnel and both the 380 and endeavors front crossmembers are identical as well except for the rack of corse??????????????????

yeah...but one big problem...it's LH drive...so all that goes out the window and custom K-frame required.

which is where I am going.....

Location: An island off southern Tasmania.		Okay....It's 2am and i finally got the endeavour rear axle fitted up to the 380.


IT FITS!!!!

As we all suspected the PS41 chassis is common between multiple platforms....and right down to the last millimetre.

The 2006 endeavour rear axle frame just bolted straight in.

A couple of small issues...the stabiliser bar rubs against the additional strenghthener on the underside of the spare wheel well...but a nudge with arubber mallet will fix that.

Also the fuel tank tunnel is about 25mm too shallow.

In that area i face a dillemma...will i re-weld and modify the fuel tank or will I just rip it out completely and go down the Liquid LPG injection path?

too many options....but anyway there you go...finally been proven to be a go-er!
