It’s smaller (frameless) but with the same size mirror and has a little bit longer pivot, more room for the blendmount clamp.

No problem at all. Yes, it’s wide open access for both drain and fill plugs.

Lucky...!!!
My true dual.. Completely messes me up for space, since the drain plug is right where the mid pipe flanges meet the axle back flange sections
Other side, but you get the picture... With the axle sections removed, I get back a few inches..

Loving this build! I can't get over how clean your undercarriage is.

Thanks! I spent some time detailing the car, although it was somewhat clean to begin with

Did you install axle-back section DIY on QuickJack? How difficult do you think DIY would be on jack stands?
