hey guys. i have fitted this maddat diff to my coupe. in the place of where the original diff had the bump stop rubbers, i now have flexible brake lines. to me it looks like it may hit and damage these brake lines if it bottoms out. this picture is with the diff floating under no load so it gets alot closer when on the ground. what are your thoughts?

yeah i was kind of hoping i didnt have to make any changes because it was made by maddat and im not sure how they could get this so wrong. i have already had to re weld a bracket done by them in the wrong position. the whole point of buying the diff of them was so i didnt have to stuff around with things like this, it is supposed to be a direct swap.

did you tell them it was for a coupe body?
not a ute....
ive made my own skyline diff and removed everything and started puting the brake lines to top-side back of the off, if you no what i mean,
so it keeps them away from bupper stop anything like that, that mite get damaged

do you have another pic of the backend of the diff

yeah i made sure they knew it was for a coupe but he did stuff up the brake line set up on it when i first got it, they said they did the steel brake line and junction as if it was for a ute.
