Default Rear axle case stretching update=>

After a bit of playing about I've reached the conclusion that I can not rely on the DTI as I can't get the magnetic base to fit close enough to the inner edge of the casing and get the needle on the gauge to be in a good enough (90 degree) position on the other side of the case.

Unfortunately I haven't got a vernier caliper with long enough jaws to reach into the casing...

...so I've just ordered one that does (!). I hope this will at lease enable me to see on the DTI which part is slack in the stretching system and which part is actually movement in the case.

To be continued.
