Differential Holding Fixture

[BritRacer]

Does anyone in the UK manufacture a diff holding fixture for use with an English diff.

I do not want to shell out £400 + for the OTC one

Can't say I've ever seen one or one in use by anyone? Most people use a bench vice and soft jaws if setting bearing preloads etc. Looked for OTC and I couldn't even figure out how they are used, but mostly American sellers so assume more aimed at 'muscle car' type diffs?

Back in the day we had one, not sure who made it but it made working on diffs a piece of cake.

I am thinking I will just go ahead and knock one up.
